Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 40–80 - NCT06882954Recruiting
Managing Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis
This trial studies the best way to treat people who have a high-grade blockage in their carotid artery but no symptoms. It focuses on blockages greater than 80% with signs of unstable plaque to prevent future strokes.
Roma, RMAges 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 - 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+ - NCT06511089RecruitingPhase 3
Carotid artery stenting during stroke clot removal
This trial tests whether placing a stent in a narrowed carotid artery during a procedure to remove a stroke clot improves outcomes. If you have a stroke with a blocked large artery and significant carotid narrowing, this study may be relevant to you.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT07036991Recruiting
Comparing two treatments for narrowed neck arteries
This trial tests whether adding a PCSK9 inhibitor to a statin is better than a statin alone for people with mild-to-moderate narrowing of the carotid artery (the main artery in the neck). It looks at how well these treatments slow plaque buildup and prevent strokes.
ShanghaiAges 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+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT01732523Recruiting
Check if extra blood-vessel growth predicts stroke risk in carotid narrowing
This study looks at an imaging test to see whether signs of new blood-vessel growth in an artery predict future stroke risk in people who have carotid artery narrowing but no symptoms. If it works, it could help doctors identify who may need closer monitoring or preventive treatment.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT04261478Recruiting
Treatment for stroke caused by blocked brain and neck arteries
This trial studies a procedure that opens blocked blood vessels in and behind the brain during a stroke, sometimes after standard clot-thinning medicine. It may help people who have brain tissue that can still be saved and a major blockage in both the neck and brain arteries.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT05850247RecruitingPhase 2
Study brain inflammation in carotid artery narrowing after stroke or TIA
This Phase 2 study looks at a protein called ficolin-2 and whether it relates to brain inflammation after a short stroke-like event or eye blood vessel blockage caused by narrowed carotid arteries. If you recently had symptoms from the carotid artery and meet imaging and health criteria, you may be offered study-related assessments to better understand the cause and help future treatment decisions.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT05724836Recruiting
Carotid artery narrowing treatment follow-up at clinic
This study follows people who are getting a procedure for carotid artery narrowing at the clinic. It aims to learn about outcomes after these treatments.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05800821Recruiting
Predicting brain blood-flow problems after carotid surgery
This study uses deep learning to predict which people are at risk for “cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome” (a dangerous spike in brain blood flow) after carotid revascularization. If you qualify, they’ll use scans/tests to estimate your risk so doctors can watch you more closely if needed.
MinskAges 30–80 - 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 - NCT06924593Recruiting
Shunt for carotid artery narrowing
This study tests a new device that is placed through the carotid artery in the neck to temporarily block blood flow during a procedure to open up a narrowed carotid artery. It might be an option for people who have high-risk features that make traditional surgery more challenging.
BeijingAges 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+ - NCT05838547Recruiting
PET-MR scan study for narrowing in the carotid artery
This study tests how well a special PET-MR scan can help evaluate carotid artery plaque in people who have significant narrowing but no symptoms. It may help researchers better understand disease activity to guide treatment decisions like medication alone or medication plus surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06959628Recruiting
Study of a new shunt system for carotid artery blockage treatment
This trial tests a special shunt system to protect your brain during carotid artery stenting. It may help people with severe blockages in the neck artery that supplies blood to the brain.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05436600Recruiting
Exercise program for people with narrowed neck arteries
