RigaAges 50 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+ - NCT07034157Recruiting
Ultrasound screening and treatment for artery disease
This study tests if using ultrasound to screen for blocked neck and head arteries can improve treatment plans for people getting heart artery stents. It aims to find hidden blockages and tailor therapy to reduce stroke and other risks.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07247864Recruiting
Protected carotid stenting for narrowed neck arteries
This trial tests a combination of two tools—a balloon guide catheter and a filter—to make carotid artery stenting safer. It aims to prevent debris from reaching the brain during the procedure, which may reduce the risk of stroke.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05922137Recruiting
ORIENT diet for brain blood vessel narrowing
This trial studies whether a specific dietary program (the ORIENT diet) can improve brain-related thinking and memory in people with narrowed brain or neck arteries. You may be able to help test whether the diet is safe and beneficial alongside usual care, through repeated assessments over time.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 40 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 - 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 - NCT04973579Recruiting
Stent plus heart surgery for high risk carotid patients
This trial looks at whether doing carotid artery stenting at the same time as heart surgery is safe and effective for people at high risk of stroke around the time of surgery. It targets people with significant carotid narrowing who also need heart surgery for specific heart problems.
KrakowAges 18 years+ - NCT02748941Recruiting
Imaging study of narrowed neck arteries after stroke
This study looks at new imaging markers in people with significant narrowing of the carotid artery (the main artery in the neck). It compares people who recently had a stroke from that artery with people who have no recent stroke, to better understand stroke risk and artery disease.
BronAges 18 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 - NCT05250349Recruiting
Ultrasound brain blood flow and thinking in stable heart failure
This trial studies whether a noninvasive ultrasound test of blood flow in the brain, along with memory and thinking questionnaires, can help explain thinking changes in people with stable heart failure. It may help researchers better understand why some people develop cognitive (thinking) difficulties as heart failure progresses.

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+ - 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+ - NCT05968053Recruiting
