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 trial tests a single CT scan that combines three types of images to look at blood vessels and blood flow in the brain. It may help people with narrowed or blocked arteries, moyamoya disease, aneurysms, or other blood vessel problems in the head and neck.
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 research tests a new type of brain scan (called sigma radiopharmaceutical FBFP) to help doctors understand blood flow problems after a stroke or mini-stroke caused by a narrowed artery in the neck. The scan may help predict recovery and guide treatment.
This study investigates the build-up of fatty deposits called plaques in arteries of the brain and neck using two different strengths of MRI scanners. It aims to understand how well these MRI techniques can image the plaques, which could help doctors better diagnose and manage stroke risk.
