Predicting brain blood-flow problems after carotid surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses deep learning to predict which people are at risk for “cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome” (a dangerous spike in brain blood flow) after carotid revascularization. If you qualify, they’ll use scans/tests to estimate your risk so doctors can watch you more closely if needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 80 years old
- You have a blocked/narrowed carotid artery and need a carotid revascularization procedure
- You do not have conditions like vasculitis or certain brain vessel problems (aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations)
- You do not have a brain tumor or a history of neuroinfection or traumatic brain injury
- You do not have epilepsy or nervous-system diseases that affect the brain/spinal cord (demyelinating diseases)
- Your heart and kidney status are acceptable, and you can receive iodine contrast for imaging, if needed

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 trial is testing a special way to monitor blood flow during carotid artery surgery to help keep patients safe. It may be a good fit if you are having planned carotid surgery and meet a few basic health criteria.
This study watches for brain damage during carotid artery surgery (a procedure to clear blocked arteries in your neck). Researchers use brain scans and cognitive tests to see if general anesthesia affects your brain during the operation.
This study checks how a carotid artery procedure affects thinking and memory. You may be able to join if you’re an adult with significant carotid artery narrowing seen on ultrasound, and you can safely do follow-up MRI scans.
This study looks at why some people have too much blood flow to the brain after a procedure to open a blocked neck artery. It uses special tests to check how well your brain controls its own blood flow, with the goal of predicting and preventing problems.
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.
