Carotid artery disease registry for symptom and risk groups
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 to 80
- You have narrowed carotid arteries, based on a scan showing a certain percent blockage
- If you have symptoms: it must be on the same side as the narrowed artery (TIA under 24 hours or a non-disabling stroke, or temporary one-eye vision loss)
- If you do not have symptoms: your blockage and risk level must fit one of the study’s categories (standard, anatomic, or physiologic risk for surgery)
- You do not have severe heart, lung, liver, or kidney conditions listed in the exclusions
- You do not have advanced dementia, and you do not currently have active metastatic cancer treatment

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study checks how a carotid artery procedure affects thinking and memory. You may be able to join if you’re an adult with significant carotid artery narrowing seen on ultrasound, and you can safely do follow-up MRI scans.
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.
This trial tests a new type of stent placed through a small incision in the neck (not the groin) to treat a narrowed carotid artery, which can reduce the risk of stroke. You may be eligible if you have significant artery narrowing and are considered higher risk for traditional neck 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.
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.
