  Recruiting Changhai Hospital · Shanghai · NCT07036991

• Ultrasound screening and combined treatment strategies for people with coronary and neck artery narrowing.

  This project uses Doppler ultrasound to screen people with coronary artery disease scheduled for elective PCI to see if finding and managing neck artery narrowings together with heart procedures leads to better outcomes.

  Recruiting Beijing Anzhen Hospital · Beijing · NCT07034157

• Evaluating a new system for protecting the brain during carotid artery procedures

  This study is testing a new device to see if it can help protect the brain during carotid artery procedures for people with narrowed arteries.

  Recruiting Shenzhen Wecan Medical Technology Co.,Ltd · Beijing · NCT06959628

• Evaluating a new treatment for calcified carotid artery stenosis

  This study is testing a new treatment for people with narrowed carotid arteries due to calcium buildup to see if it helps improve their condition safely over time.

  Recruiting Shanghai Bluesail Boyuan Medical Technology Co., Ltd. · Beijing · NCT06936189

• Using shockwave therapy to treat calcified carotid artery blockages

  This study is testing a new device that uses shockwaves to break up hard blockages in the carotid artery to see if it helps adults aged 18-80 who haven't had success with regular treatments.

  Recruiting Shanghai Bluesail Boyuan Medical Technology Co., Ltd. · Beijing · NCT06936176

• Trans-carotid artery occlusion shunt for carotid revascularization

  Researchers will test a trans-carotid artery occlusion shunt used during endovascular revascularization in adults with symptomatic or high‑grade asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis.

  Recruiting Shenzhen Wecan Medical Technology Co.,Ltd · Beijing · NCT06924593

• Innovative surgery for treating complex carotid artery blockages

  This study is testing a new type of surgery for people with complicated carotid artery blockages to see if it is safe and works better than older methods.

  Recruiting Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine · Hangzhou, Zhejiang · NCT06722222

• Comparing enteric-coated and plain aspirin to reduce heart disease risks from air pollution

  This study is testing whether enteric-coated or plain low-dose aspirin can better help people with heart disease reduce their risks from air pollution, along with providing tips to stay healthy.

  Recruiting Rajaie Cardiovascular Medical and Research Center · Tehran, Tehran Province · NCT06541691

• Effect of revascularization on small vessel disease in carotid artery stenosis

  This study is testing if a procedure to improve blood flow in the carotid artery can help prevent brain and eye problems in people with narrowed arteries.

  Recruiting Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital · Hangzhou, Zhejiang · NCT06031610

• Detecting microplastics in patients undergoing neurosurgery

  This study is trying to see if tiny pieces of plastic are found in the blood, brain fluid, and brain tissue of patients who are having brain surgery.

  Recruiting Beijing Tiantan Hospital · Beijing, Beijing Municipality · NCT05968053

• Predicting cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome after carotid artery procedures using deep learning

  This study is testing if deep learning can help predict which patients are at risk of developing cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome after carotid artery procedures.

  Recruiting State Institution "Republican Scientific and Practical Center" Cardiology, Belarus · Minsk · NCT05800821

• Optimizing assessment strategies for carotid artery stenosis

  This study is testing different imaging methods to see which ones work best for checking carotid artery blockages and their effects on the brain in people undergoing surgery.

  Recruiting Peking Union Medical College Hospital · Beijing, Beijing Municipality · NCT05629000

• Comparing effects of carotid artery procedures on brain function and blood flow

  This study looks at how two different surgeries for blocked carotid arteries affect blood flow and thinking skills in patients over time.

  Recruiting Beijing Friendship Hospital · Beijing, Beijing Municipality · NCT05539781

• Treatment of acute stroke caused by carotid artery issues using a specialized stent

  This study is testing a special stent treatment for people who have had a stroke caused by problems in their carotid artery to see if it helps them recover better.

  Recruiting John Paul II Hospital, Krakow · Krakow · NCT05195658
