CT scan using new technology to check head vein stents
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of CT scanner that gives clearer pictures of the stent in the vein in your head after it has been placed. The goal is to see if this new scanner helps doctors see the stent better and spot any problems more easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a stent in a vein in your head (a small tube to keep the vein open).
- You are having a follow-up CT scan with contrast dye to check the stent.
- You do not have an allergy to the contrast dye (iodine) used for CT scans.
- You do not have severe kidney problems that make it unsafe to receive contrast dye.

This study looks at whether a new type of CT scanner can take clearer pictures of stents in the brain. The goal is to help doctors see if the stent is working well after it's been placed.
This study tests a new type of CT scan that takes very detailed pictures of the heart and stents. It may help doctors see whether stents remain open and guide future care.
This study tests a single CT scan that combines three types of imaging to look at blood vessels and blood flow in the brain. It may help doctors better understand conditions like stroke, narrowed vessels, or aneurysms without needing multiple scans.
This study uses MRI scans to look at how the brain's waste-clearing system (glymphatic function) and white matter are affected in people with cerebral venous disorders (either narrowing or blood clots in the brain's veins). It aims to improve understanding of these conditions, which may lead to better treatments.
This study compares two types of CT scans to evaluate the arteries in your neck before you have a stent placed. The newer photon-counting CT may provide more detailed images, which could help your doctor plan the procedure more precisely.
This study uses advanced CT scans to get a better look at bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). It may help doctors understand the stroke and guide care.
