Imaging treatment plan for blocked brain or neck arteries
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses special MRI “vessel wall” imaging to better understand blocked arteries in the brain or neck, confirmed on a scan. It aims to help analyze imaging findings to guide treatment decisions and reduce problems from artery blockage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have a proven blockage of a neck or brain artery shown on angiography (a blood-vessel imaging test)
- Have access to, or be able to get, high-resolution MRI vessel-wall imaging
- Be able to sign a written consent form
- You should not have only mild or moderate narrowing—your artery issue must be more than mild/moderate stenosis

This study tests a new imaging agent that may help doctors see how blood flows in the brain after a stroke or mini-stroke. It could help guide treatment for people with severe narrowing in one of the main arteries in the neck or head.
This trial studies a way to sort and treat people with a specific type of acute ischemic stroke (caused by a blockage in a large brain artery). It may help doctors choose the best next steps—either a procedure or medication—faster and more appropriately.
This study looks at how well different CT scans can identify which artery is blocked in people having a stroke. It may help doctors choose the best treatment faster.
This study uses MRI scans to find strokes caused by blockages in the arteries at the back of the brain. It may help doctors learn more about these strokes and how to better care for people who have them.
This study tests a single CT scan that combines three types of imaging to look at blood vessels and blood flow in the brain. It may help doctors better understand conditions like stroke, narrowed vessels, or aneurysms without needing multiple scans.
This study uses a special MRI technique to take detailed pictures of the walls of narrowed arteries in the brain or neck. It aims to better understand the plaques that cause the narrowing, which may help guide treatment. If you have moderate to severe narrowing in these arteries, this imaging could provide important information for your care.
