Blood flow monitoring for carotid artery surgery

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 whether a special technique to keep blood flowing through a small branch of the carotid artery during surgery helps people recover better after having the main blockage removed. It may be a good option if you have a significant narrowing in your carotid artery and are planning to have surgery to fix it.

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 in the carotid artery after surgery to remove plaque buildup. It may help doctors understand how well the artery heals after different surgical techniques.
