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 tests whether surgery to remove plaque from a narrowed carotid artery (the main artery in the neck that supplies blood to the brain) helps people who have had symptoms like a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). The goal is to see if this surgery reduces the risk of future strokes.
This study compares two approaches for people who have recently had a stroke or mini-stroke caused by a moderately narrowed carotid artery in the neck. Half will get the best medical treatment alone (like clot-preventing medicines and risk-factor management), and the other half will get the same medical treatment plus a procedure to open the narrowed artery (either surgery or a stent). The goal is to see which approach better prevents future strokes.
This study tests a new technology that monitors blood flow in the neck during carotid endarterectomy, a surgery to clear a blocked artery that can cause stroke. The aim is to see if the device works safely and effectively in real patients.
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.
