Study brain artery narrowing after stroke using 3D imaging
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study follows people after a stroke to better understand how the brain’s artery narrowing changes over time. It uses special 3D scans to see how blood flow and artery structure evolve, which may help future stroke prevention and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 30 and 85 years old.
- Have had a recent stroke shown on diffusion MRI, likely caused by artery-to-artery clotting, with brain artery narrowing of at least 60%.
- Have intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (narrowing from plaque) rather than another clear cause of stroke.
- Be able to safely complete the planned imaging tests (no contraindications).
- Be able and willing to follow the study schedule and give consent. (If you can’t, you may not qualify.)

This study uses MRI and ultrasound to look closely at brain artery plaques that may release clots and cause stroke. It aims to better understand which plaque features signal higher “embolus” risk, which could guide future care.
This study looks at blood markers and brain/artery scan results to predict who with intracranial artery narrowing is more likely to have another stroke. It may help doctors spot higher-risk people earlier and better target prevention.
This trial uses a detailed eye/brain imaging test (optical coherence tomography) to study people with significantly narrowed brain arteries after certain stroke-like events. It may help researchers better understand and monitor this condition to improve care.
This study tests a special balloon-expandable stent to treat narrowed arteries in the brain that have not improved with medication. It aims to help people who have had strokes or TIAs despite taking medicines for risk factors like high blood pressure or diabetes.
This study looks at a new way to measure stroke risk in people with a specific type of brain artery narrowing (atherosclerosis) in the front part of the brain. You might participate if you have this condition and are willing to have imaging tests and take standard medicines.
This trial uses special brain MRI to look closely at plaque in certain brain arteries after an ischemic stroke (when a blood vessel is blocked). It may help researchers better understand which plaques are most dangerous soon after stroke.
