Track outcomes after carotid stent or surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a carotid procedure called TCAR or CEA
- Your doctors classify you as a standard surgical risk or a high surgical risk
- Your treatment plans match U.S. CMS risk definitions
- The procedure is on the carotid artery meant to treat the narrowing

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.
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.
This study looks at blood flow in the carotid artery after surgery to remove plaque buildup. It may help doctors understand how well the artery heals after different surgical techniques.
This study is testing a special system (ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection) used with a stent to treat narrowed carotid arteries, which can help prevent stroke. It looks at how well the system works in real medical settings.
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.
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.
