Study of a new system for treating carotid artery disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a special system (ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection) used with a stent to treat narrowed carotid arteries, which can help prevent stroke. It looks at how well the system works in real medical settings.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must understand and sign a consent form.
- You are scheduled to receive the ENROUTE system with a Boston Scientific stent for carotid artery disease.
- You must have a life expectancy of at least 1 year and likely benefit from the procedure.
- If you have cancer, your doctor must confirm you are expected to live 5 years or more.

This trial tests a device that helps prevent strokes by opening blocked carotid arteries in the neck. It is for people who have had a recent stroke or TIA, or who have a high-grade blockage without symptoms.
This trial tests a new carotid stent system used with a special blood-flow reversal device to treat blocked carotid arteries. It is for people with high-risk conditions who might not be good candidates for traditional open surgery, and aims to see if the stent is safe and effective in preventing 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 studies an endovascular procedure to reopen a chronically blocked carotid artery and improve blood flow to the brain. It also compares outcomes against standard care in part of the study, for people who show abnormal brain circulation on brain scans.
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 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.
