Tracking Artery Narrowing After Carotid Surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery to clear a blockage in your carotid artery (the main artery in your neck)
- You are between 18 and 89 years old
- You have not had this surgery or a stent in the same artery before
- You do not have other serious neck or brain conditions (like previous radiation, nerve damage, or other blood vessel problems)
- You are willing to be tracked after surgery and sign a consent form

This study looks at new imaging markers in people with significant narrowing of the carotid artery (the main artery in the neck). It compares people who recently had a stroke from that artery with people who have no recent stroke, to better understand stroke risk and artery disease.
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 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 follows people who are getting a procedure for carotid artery narrowing at the clinic. It aims to learn about outcomes after these treatments.
This study checks how a carotid artery procedure affects thinking and memory. You may be able to join if you’re an adult with significant carotid artery narrowing seen on ultrasound, and you can safely do follow-up MRI scans.
This study looks at an approach to better plan treatment for people with significant narrowing of the carotid artery (the main artery to the brain). It may help doctors choose safer, more effective care after surgery.
