New catheter for carotid artery stenting via wrist access
Part of Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a special catheter to treat a narrowed carotid artery in the neck, inserted through your wrist instead of the groin. It may be a safer and more comfortable option for people with certain types of carotid blockage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a narrowing in your common or internal carotid artery (at least 50% if you had symptoms like a mini-stroke, or 70-99% if you have no symptoms).
- You have a detectable pulse in your wrist and good blood flow from the other artery in your hand.
- Your doctor believes the device can reach the blockage through the wrist artery.
- You are willing to participate and complete follow-up visits.

This trial tests a special balloon (IVL) to treat hardened plaque in the neck arteries that supply blood to the brain. It is for people who need a stent but whose previous balloon treatment did not work well.
This trial tests whether placing a stent in the narrowed carotid artery is a good option for people who are at high risk for the standard surgery (carotid endarterectomy). If you have significant blockages in your neck arteries and certain health or anatomical factors that make surgery riskier, this study may be for you.
This trial tests a stent procedure to open a severely blocked carotid artery in people who have not had a stroke or mini-stroke from that blockage recently. It aims to see if the procedure is safe and effective for preventing future strokes.
This trial tests a special shunt system to protect your brain during carotid artery stenting. It may help people with severe blockages in the neck artery that supplies blood to the brain.
This trial tests using a balloon guide catheter along with a filter to prevent debris from reaching the brain during carotid artery stenting. It may help people who have severe narrowing or blockage in the carotid artery and are getting a stent.
This trial tests a procedure to open a blocked carotid artery in the neck to improve blood flow to the brain. It's for people who still have symptoms (like weakness or vision problems) despite medical treatment.
