Carotid stent procedure for stroke prevention in Chinese patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new system that uses a stent (a small mesh tube) to open narrowed carotid arteries in the neck, which helps prevent strokes. It is designed for people with significant narrowing who have either had symptoms like a stroke or mini-stroke, or are at high risk for stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You either had a stroke or mini-stroke in the last 6 months with a narrowing of the carotid artery over 50%, OR you have no symptoms but the narrowing is at least 70%.
- The narrowing must be in the internal carotid artery (the main artery in your neck that supplies blood to the brain) and can be treated with the study device.
- You must not have atrial fibrillation, recent bleeding in the brain, or certain heart conditions that could increase stroke risk.
- You must be willing to return to the study center for all follow-up visits.

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 combination of two tools—a balloon guide catheter and a filter—to make carotid artery stenting safer. It aims to prevent debris from reaching the brain during the procedure, which may reduce the risk of stroke.
This trial tests a new type of stent placed through a small incision in the neck (not the groin) to treat a narrowed carotid artery, which can reduce the risk of stroke. You may be eligible if you have significant artery narrowing and are considered higher risk for traditional neck surgery.
This trial tests whether using a balloon guide catheter during carotid artery stenting helps prevent strokes during the procedure. It is for people who have significant narrowing in the carotid artery in their neck.
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 whether placing a special device (a micronet-covered stent) can improve treatment of certain acute strokes caused by blockage at the carotid artery “bifurcation” (where the artery splits). It is meant for people who need an urgent, catheter-based procedure to open the blocked vessel.
