Testing a new treatment for narrowed brain arteries
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing an interventional treatment for people who have severe narrowing (70-99%) in a major brain artery that has caused a stroke or mini-stroke in the past year. The goal is to see if this treatment can help prevent future strokes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have had a stroke or mini-stroke in the last 12 months due to a blockage of 70-99% in a major brain artery.
- You received a catheter-based treatment (endovascular therapy) during your hospital stay.
- You have not had a large stroke, bleeding in the brain, or a brain tumor.
- You are willing and able to return for all follow-up visits.

This trial tests whether placing a stent in a severely narrowed brain artery, along with aggressive medication, can prevent another stroke better than medication alone. It is for people who had a mild stroke within the last 30 days due to a 70-99% blockage in a major brain artery.
This trial tests whether placing a stent (a tiny tube) in the blocked artery in the brain can improve blood flow and help people recover from a severe stroke, especially when standard clot removal has not worked.
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 study tests whether an urgent balloon procedure (angioplasty) to open a narrowed brain artery, done right after removing a clot, helps patients recover better from a severe stroke. It is for people whose artery is still very narrow after the clot is removed.
This trial tests whether a “remote conditioning” procedure done on the arm, along with endovascular stenting (a catheter-based treatment), can reduce problems from severely narrowed brain arteries. It is aimed at adults who have had a stroke or “mini-stroke” caused by this artery narrowing.
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.
