Study for carotid web-related stroke or TIA
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at people who have had a stroke (cerebral infarction) or a warning episode (TIA) caused by a specific shape in a neck artery called a carotid web. The trial uses expert review of your imaging to confirm the cause and asks for your consent to be followed in a study group.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re at least 18 years old
- Your brain/neck imaging shows a carotid web
- You’ve had a stroke or TIA caused by the carotid web area in the brain
- Two specialists will confirm the carotid web on imaging (a neurologist and a neuroradiologist)
- You (or your support person) agree to join after reading the study information and signing the non-opposition form

This study looks at whether carotid webs (small flaps in the neck artery that can increase stroke risk) run in families. If you or a close relative has a carotid web, researchers will use a special ultrasound to check family members for the same condition.
This study checks how often a small flap of tissue (called a carotid web) appears in the neck arteries of young people. It uses a simple ultrasound to look for this condition, which may help doctors understand stroke risk in younger adults.
This study looks at the makeup of plaque in the carotid artery (the neck blood vessel to the brain) in people who recently had a stroke caused by that narrowing. Researchers will use MRI and planned surgery to see which plaque components may matter for stroke risk and outcomes.
This study enrolls people age 40 or older who have at least 50% narrowing in one brain or neck (carotid) artery. It collects clinical information to better understand this condition and how patients are doing over time.
This study enrolls people who recently had an ischemic stroke or a TIA (a “mini-stroke”) and also have evidence of narrowed heart arteries. It collects information to better understand how brain and heart artery disease occur together and may guide future care.
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.
