Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT06898151Recruiting
Comparing timing of carotid surgery or stenting after stroke
This trial compares the best timing for surgery or stenting to open a narrowed carotid artery after a minor stroke. The goal is to see if doing the procedure sooner or later reduces the chance of another stroke.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06406842Recruiting
Brain oxygen and stroke risk in carotid surgery
This study looks at whether monitoring oxygen levels in the brain during carotid artery surgery can help predict or prevent a stroke. If you are having this surgery, researchers want to see if a simple monitor on your forehead can warn the surgical team of trouble.

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+ - NCT04347785Recruiting
Study nerve effects after carotid surgery done with local anesthesia
This trial looks at what factors predict new or worsening nerve symptoms after a carotid endarterectomy (a surgery to clear plaque in the neck artery) when done with regional anesthesia. It may help doctors better anticipate and prevent neurologic problems during this procedure.
PortoAges 18–100 - NCT06767657Recruiting
Immediate vs delayed surgery for recent mini-stroke or mild stroke
This trial compares two approaches for treating a blocked carotid artery after a mini-stroke or mild stroke: surgery done right away (within hours) versus waiting a short while. The goal is to see which timing helps prevent another stroke better.
FlorenceAges 45–90 - NCT05390983Recruiting
Compare surgery vs balloon/stent for re-narrowed neck artery
This trial compares two treatments for a carotid artery that has narrowed again after a prior stent: surgery (endarterectomy) versus repeat balloon treatment with or without stenting. It may help find which approach works better to prevent further narrowing and complications.
Ostrava, Moravian-Silesian RegionAges 18–80 - NCT06722222Recruiting
New surgery for carotid artery narrowing
This trial tests a specific surgical technique called Gao's Triple Eversion Carotid Endarterectomy for people with significant narrowing of the carotid artery. The goal is to prevent strokes by removing the blockage.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges Any age - NCT06528717Recruiting
Keeping blood flow to the face during carotid artery surgery
This study tests whether a special technique to keep blood flowing through a small branch of the carotid artery during surgery helps people recover better after having the main blockage removed. It may be a good option if you have a significant narrowing in your carotid artery and are planning to have surgery to fix it.
BelgradeAges 50–90 - 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+ - NCT05134246Recruiting
Stent or procedure for narrowed carotid artery after neck radiation
This trial studies a carotid artery procedure (revascularization) to treat a major narrowing in the neck artery that happened after you had radiation for head or neck cancer. It may help prevent stroke risk by improving blood flow to the brain.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06303414Recruiting
Opening blocked carotid artery for ongoing symptoms
This trial tests a procedure to open a blocked carotid artery in the neck to improve blood flow to the brain. It's for people who still have symptoms (like weakness or vision problems) despite medical treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05198635Recruiting
Cerebral oxygen checks to lower confusion after carotid surgery
This trial looks at whether monitoring oxygen levels in the brain during carotid endarterectomy (a surgery to reduce stroke risk) can help reduce postoperative delirium, a sudden period of confusion after surgery. It may help patients recover more clearly after the operation by identifying risks early and guiding care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06175715Recruiting
General vs. local anesthesia for carotid artery surgery after stroke
This trial compares two types of anesthesia for people who need surgery to clean out a blocked carotid artery after a recent stroke. It aims to see which anesthesia method leads to better recovery after the surgery.
MoscowAges 40–80 - 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+ - NCT06965257Recruiting
Blood pressure monitoring study for carotid surgery
This study tests a non-invasive blood pressure monitor during carotid artery surgery to see if it can replace the standard arterial catheter. It may help patients by reducing the need for a tube placed in an artery.
Créteil, FranceAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07057297Recruiting
Tracking Artery Narrowing After Carotid Surgery
This study follows patients who have had carotid artery surgery to see if the artery narrows again. It helps doctors understand how well the surgery works over time.
PragueAges 18–90 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for carotid endarterectomy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 19 recruiting carotid endarterectomy studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a carotid endarterectomy trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a carotid endarterectomy trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
