Study of treatment planning after carotid artery narrowing
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at an approach to better plan treatment for people with significant narrowing of the carotid artery (the main artery to the brain). It may help doctors choose safer, more effective care after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a carotid artery narrowing of at least 50% (or near-blockage) seen on a CT angiogram scan
- You had a carotid endarterectomy (carotid surgery to remove the blockage) at Peking Union Medical College Hospital
- You can safely undergo the imaging tests used in the study (no medical reason you cannot)
- You are willing to sign the informed consent form

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies how blood flow and brain function change after a carotid artery revascularization procedure (opening a narrowed carotid artery). It may help doctors understand what to expect after treatment, especially in people with significant artery narrowing.
This study tests a new system that uses a stent (a small mesh tube) to open narrowed carotid arteries in the neck, which helps prevent strokes. It is designed for people with significant narrowing who have either had symptoms like a stroke or mini-stroke, or are at high risk for stroke.
This study tests if opening a narrowed carotid artery can reduce brain damage from small vessel disease. It may help patients with carotid artery narrowing prevent cognitive decline.
This study uses advanced PET/MRI scans to measure blood flow and sugar use in the brain. It is for people who have had a stroke or mini-stroke in the past year due to a severely narrowed carotid artery.
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.
This study uses MRI scans to build a risk prediction model for stroke and other cerebrovascular events in people with carotid artery stenosis (narrowing of the neck arteries). By participating, you help doctors better understand who is at highest risk, which may lead to more personalized treatment.
