Balloon angioplasty for recent minor stroke or TIA
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a balloon procedure to open a narrowed artery in the brain to prevent further strokes. It is for people who recently had a mild stroke or high-risk TIA from a significant blockage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a recent minor stroke or high-risk TIA (mini-stroke) from a blocked brain artery.
- You are between 30 and 80 years old.
- The blocked artery is between 70% and 99% narrowed and measurable by imaging.
- You do not have atrial fibrillation, severe heart/liver/kidney disease, or uncontrolled blood pressure.
- You have not had a recent brain bleed on the same side of the brain as the blockage.

This trial tests if balloon angioplasty (opening a narrowed artery with a tiny balloon) can help people who have had a minor stroke and are still having symptoms despite taking blood thinners.
This trial tests if a procedure to reopen a blocked brain artery can help people who have had mini-strokes or strokes despite medical treatment. It is for people with a blockage in a specific brain artery that happened 2 weeks to 3 months ago.
This trial tests a new balloon catheter to open up severely narrowed arteries in the brain. It may help reduce your risk of stroke.
This trial tests the drug tirofiban (a blood thinner) to prevent another stroke in people who have had a mild stroke or high-risk TIA and have a narrowed artery in the brain. It must be started within 24 hours of symptoms.
This study tests a safer, lower-intensity balloon procedure to improve blood flow in people whose brain arteries are narrowed and who recently had a stroke. It aims to reduce the chance of another stroke by restoring flow while minimizing procedure-related risks.
This trial tests whether doing an angioplasty (a procedure to open a narrowed artery with a small balloon) as soon as possible after a severe stroke caused by a blockage in a brain artery can improve recovery. It is for people who arrive within 24 hours of their stroke and have a specific type of narrowing inside the skull.
