BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07054060Recruiting
Surgery vs. Stenting for Recent Stroke Symptoms from a Narrowed Carotid Artery
This trial compares two procedures—surgery to remove plaque from a carotid artery or placing a stent to widen the artery—to see which is better for people who recently had warning signs or a small stroke due to a severe blockage. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to prevent future strokes.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07150260Recruiting
Brain oxygen and artery pressure study during awake carotid surgery
This study looks at how blood pressure in the carotid artery relates to oxygen levels in the brain during awake carotid surgery. It may help doctors better understand how to protect your brain during the procedure.
IzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT07166731Recruiting
Carotid stent vs. medication for recent stroke risk
This trial tests if a carotid artery stent plus medication is better than medication alone at preventing another stroke in people who recently had a stroke or eye blockage caused by a non-narrowing but risky carotid plaque.
Solingen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07296965Recruiting
Oral bacteria in carotid artery plaque study
This study looks at the bacteria living in your mouth and whether they are linked to plaque buildup in the carotid artery (the main artery in your neck). If you are already scheduled for surgery to remove that plaque, the researchers will take samples from your mouth and the plaque to compare them.
BudapestAges 18 years+ - NCT07370246Recruiting
Carotid stenting for high-risk carotid surgery patients
This trial tests whether placing a stent in the narrowed carotid artery is a good option for people who are at high risk for the standard surgery (carotid endarterectomy). If you have significant blockages in your neck arteries and certain health or anatomical factors that make surgery riskier, this study may be for you.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07412249Recruiting
Arm pressure cuff plus stent for blocked neck arteries
This trial tests if using a blood pressure cuff on the arm (to briefly restrict blood flow) before and after carotid stent placement can help reduce the risk of stroke. It is for people who have recently had stroke symptoms from a moderate to severe carotid artery blockage.
ShenyangAges 40 years+ - NCT07556887Recruiting
Using IMPROVE to Choose Carotid Artery Treatment After Stroke
This study tests whether a new tool called IMPROVE helps doctors decide if you need surgery or a stent to clear a narrowed carotid artery (a major neck blood vessel) after a recent stroke or mini-stroke. The goal is to better predict which patients will benefit most from this treatment.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT06452173Enrolling by invitation
Risk prediction for stroke in carotid artery narrowing
This study uses MRI scans to build a risk prediction model for stroke and other cerebrovascular events in people with carotid artery stenosis (narrowing of the neck arteries). By participating, you help doctors better understand who is at highest risk, which may lead to more personalized treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06058676Enrolling by invitation
Predicting blood flow changes after carotid stenting
This study looks at why some people have too much blood flow to the brain after a procedure to open a blocked neck artery. It uses special tests to check how well your brain controls its own blood flow, with the goal of predicting and preventing problems.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06653387Recruiting
Testing a new carotid stent with blood-flow reversal for high-risk patients
This trial tests a new carotid stent system used with a special blood-flow reversal device to treat blocked carotid arteries. It is for people with high-risk conditions who might not be good candidates for traditional open surgery, and aims to see if the stent is safe and effective in preventing strokes.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–79 - NCT02240862Recruiting
Carotid artery disease registry for symptom and risk groups
This is a registry that enrolls adults with narrowed carotid arteries (with symptoms or no symptoms). It collects health and treatment information to better understand which patients benefit from procedures and when.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT04847752Recruiting
Predicting outcomes after stroke from artery plaque
This study looks at factors that can help predict recovery and risk after an ischemic stroke caused by plaque buildup in a major artery. It may help doctors better forecast prognosis and tailor follow-up care for people like you.
WuhanAges Up to 80 years - NCT06936189Recruiting
Extended follow-up study of IVL for carotid artery disease
This trial is collecting long-term safety and effectiveness data from patients who already completed a study of a device called IVL (shockwave therapy) for calcium buildup in the carotid artery. It does not require any new treatments or tests.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07104487RecruitingPhase 2
PET/MRI scan to detect inflammation in carotid artery disease
This study tests whether a special type of PET/MRI scan can help doctors see inflammation in the carotid artery after a stroke or mini-stroke. By using a radioactive tracer, the scan may identify which patients have dangerous plaque buildup that could lead to another stroke.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT07462546Recruiting
Ultrasound monitoring during carotid artery stenting
This trial is testing a special ultrasound (called transcranial Doppler) to monitor blood flow during a procedure to open a narrowed carotid artery in your neck. The ultrasound helps doctors see if the procedure is safe and working well.
ShenyangAges 40 years+ - NCT07083986Enrolling by invitation
Surgery vs stenting for recent stroke patients
This trial compares two procedures to open a blocked carotid artery in people who recently had a stroke. One option is surgery (carotid endarterectomy) to remove the blockage, the other is stenting (placing a small mesh tube to hold the artery open). The goal is to see which works better for patients still having some stroke symptoms.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT05968053Recruiting
Testing microplastics detection in neurosurgery patients
This study checks whether microplastics and nanoplastics can be detected in people undergoing neurosurgery. If it works, it could help doctors better understand possible material exposures around brain and nerve procedures.
