Blood flow after carotid surgery study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at blood flow in the carotid artery after surgery to remove plaque buildup. It may help doctors understand how well the artery heals after different surgical techniques.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery to remove narrowing in your carotid artery (neck artery) that was at least 50% blocked.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You can agree to join the study (orally or in writing).
- Your carotid artery is less than 25 millimeters below your skin.
- The treated artery has not narrowed again after your surgery.
- You are not in another study that could affect this one.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
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 trial looks at specific markers in the blood to better understand unstable plaque in the carotid artery. It may help doctors identify which patients are at higher risk for stroke.
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.
