Carotid artery narrowing treatment follow-up at clinic
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study follows people who are getting a procedure for carotid artery narrowing at the clinic. It aims to learn about outcomes after these treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have a carotid artery procedure at this clinic
- You came to the clinic for evaluation and treatment of carotid artery narrowing
- You can enroll around the time of your carotid procedure

This study follows patients who have had carotid artery surgery to see if the artery narrows again. It helps doctors understand how well the surgery works over time.
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.
This study tests whether surgery to remove plaque from a narrowed carotid artery (the main artery in the neck that supplies blood to the brain) helps people who have had symptoms like a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). The goal is to see if this surgery reduces the risk of future strokes.
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 compares two approaches for people who have recently had a stroke or mini-stroke caused by a moderately narrowed carotid artery in the neck. Half will get the best medical treatment alone (like clot-preventing medicines and risk-factor management), and the other half will get the same medical treatment plus a procedure to open the narrowed artery (either surgery or a stent). The goal is to see which approach better prevents future strokes.
This study follows people who need a procedure to treat narrowed carotid arteries, comparing results after either surgery (CEA) or a less invasive procedure (TCAR). It mainly looks at patient safety and outcomes, which can help improve future care.
