New balloon for brain artery narrowing
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new balloon catheter to open up severely narrowed arteries in the brain. It may help reduce your risk of stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a severely narrowed artery in your brain (at least 70% blocked).
- The narrowed section of artery is between 1.25 mm and 4.50 mm wide.
- You are willing to sign a consent form to join the study.
- You do not have severe lung, liver, or kidney disease, a bleeding disorder, or a disabling stroke.
- You are not allergic to aspirin, heparin, anesthetics, or contrast dye.

This study tests a balloon procedure to open a narrowed artery in the brain to prevent further strokes. It is for people who recently had a mild stroke or high-risk TIA from a significant blockage.
This study tests a special balloon-expandable stent to treat narrowed arteries in the brain that have not improved with medication. It aims to help people who have had strokes or TIAs despite taking medicines for risk factors like high blood pressure or diabetes.
This trial tests a new laser balloon catheter to widen narrowed arteries in the brain that cause stroke symptoms. It may help if you have a severely blocked artery and are healthy enough for the procedure.
This study tests a safer, lower-intensity balloon procedure to improve blood flow in people whose brain arteries are narrowed and who recently had a stroke. It aims to reduce the chance of another stroke by restoring flow while minimizing procedure-related risks.
This trial tests a special balloon catheter coated with a drug (sirolimus) to treat narrowed arteries inside the brain caused by atherosclerosis (plaque buildup). The goal is to keep the artery open and prevent future strokes.
This trial tests if balloon angioplasty (opening a narrowed artery with a tiny balloon) can help people who have had a minor stroke and are still having symptoms despite taking blood thinners.
