Blood flow monitoring for carotid artery surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 35 or less.
- You do not have atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat).
- Your surgery is not an urgent or emergency procedure.
- You are not pregnant.
Quick eligibility check

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 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.
This study tests a device that measures oxygen levels in your brain during awake carotid surgery. It aims to help doctors watch your brain health in real time and reduce risks during the procedure.
This study tests a non-invasive blood pressure monitor during carotid artery surgery to see if it can replace the standard arterial catheter. It may help patients by reducing the need for a tube placed in an artery.
This study looks at whether monitoring oxygen levels in the brain during carotid artery surgery can help predict or prevent a stroke. If you are having this surgery, researchers want to see if a simple monitor on your forehead can warn the surgical team of trouble.
This study looks at blood flow after surgery to clear a blocked carotid artery in the neck. It aims to check how well the repair works and may help improve recovery.
