Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT06899399Recruiting
Stent study for asymptomatic carotid artery blockage
This trial tests a stent procedure to open a severely blocked carotid artery in people who have not had a stroke or mini-stroke from that blockage recently. It aims to see if the procedure is safe and effective for preventing future strokes.
BeijingAges 40–80 - 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+ - NCT02850588Recruiting
Track outcomes after carotid stent or surgery
This study follows people who need a procedure to treat narrowed carotid arteries, comparing results after either surgery (CEA) or a less invasive procedure (TCAR). It mainly looks at patient safety and outcomes, which can help improve future care.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06546761Recruiting
Heart imaging after carotid artery treatment
This study tests whether imaging the heart's arteries with a special CT scan can help find hidden blockages in people who just had treatment for a blocked carotid artery. It aims to prevent future heart problems.
RigaAges 50 years+ - NCT06887894Recruiting
Studying unstable plaque in the carotid artery
This trial looks at specific markers in the blood to better understand unstable plaque in the carotid artery. It may help doctors identify which patients are at higher risk for stroke.
Roma, RMAges 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+ - NCT05692882Recruiting
Registry for stent treatment in narrowed brain arteries in China
This study records outcomes for people with significant narrowing in brain arteries who have treatment using a drug-eluting stent. It may help doctors understand how well this approach works and what risks or benefits to expect.
ChenzhouAges 18–85 - NCT05195658Recruiting
Stent vs standard treatment for acute carotid artery stroke
This trial studies whether placing a special device (a micronet-covered stent) can improve treatment of certain acute strokes caused by blockage at the carotid artery “bifurcation” (where the artery splits). It is meant for people who need an urgent, catheter-based procedure to open the blocked vessel.
KrakowAges 18 years+ - NCT05732077Recruiting
Stent decisions for kidney artery narrowing in hard-to-control blood pressure
This trial studies whether using a pressure-based test called fractional flow reserve (FFR) helps doctors choose the right kidney artery stent for people with narrowing of kidney arteries and high blood pressure. It may help improve blood pressure control while avoiding unnecessary procedures.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05416385Recruiting
Stress echo scan with special contrast to study carotid plaque
This study uses a heart stress ultrasound test, plus a contrast dye, to look for new blood vessel growth inside carotid plaque (the buildup in neck arteries). It may help doctors better judge the risk of stroke and determine which people need closer care.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT03179774Recruiting
Procedure trial for blocked carotid artery to improve brain blood flow
This trial studies an endovascular procedure to reopen a chronically blocked carotid artery and improve blood flow to the brain. It also compares outcomes against standard care in part of the study, for people who show abnormal brain circulation on brain scans.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT06447740Recruiting
Stent vs. medication for narrowed kidney artery
This trial compares placing a tiny mesh tube (stent) to open the narrowed kidney artery versus continuing blood pressure medicines alone. It is for people whose high blood pressure is hard to control even with multiple medications and who have a blockage in the kidney artery that can be treated.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06936176Recruiting
Studying a new balloon procedure for calcified carotid artery disease
This trial tests a special balloon (IVL) to treat hardened plaque in the neck arteries that supply blood to the brain. It is for people who need a stent but whose previous balloon treatment did not work well.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07756775Recruiting
Comparing two imaging tests for stroke diagnosis
This study compares two imaging methods, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) without contrast dye and a carotid ultrasound (Doppler), to see which one is better at finding blocked arteries in the neck that can cause strokes. The results may help doctors choose the best test for people who have had a stroke or a mini-stroke.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT04073797Recruiting
PET scan study of inflammation and cholesterol-lowering treatment
This study uses PET/CT and related scans to measure inflammation in artery plaque and how cholesterol-lowering treatment changes it. It may help researchers understand which treatments reduce artery inflammation for people with heart or blood-vessel disease and high LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.
CambridgeAges 18–99 - NCT05832762Recruiting
Clot-buster procedure for blocked neck artery stroke
This trial studies whether an emergency clot-removal procedure through the blood vessels (endovascular treatment) helps people who have a stroke caused by a blocked internal carotid artery in the neck. It compares outcomes in patients treated urgently when imaging shows the blockage is likely the main cause.
Montpellier, FanceAges 18 years+ - NCT07192029Recruiting
Balloon catheter for stroke clot removal in the carotid artery
This trial tests whether using a special balloon-guided catheter during clot removal (mechanical thrombectomy) improves outcomes for people with a severe stroke caused by a blockage in the internal carotid artery. The study aims to see if this tool helps remove the clot more safely and effectively.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07197970RecruitingPhase 3
Stent for blocked brain arteries
This trial tests whether a drug-coated stent can help people with severely narrowed brain arteries that have already caused a stroke or mini-stroke. It aims to improve blood flow and prevent future strokes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT00583817Enrolling by invitation
Endovascular repair for thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections
This study tests whether repairing an enlarged or tearing (dissection) thoracic aorta using a catheter-based procedure can be safer for people who are high-risk for open surgery. It uses specialized stent grafts placed through blood vessels to seal the problem and prevent complications.
