Newest Carotid Artery Stenosis clinical trials
All recruiting trials (17)
-
Photon-counting CT vs conventional CT for carotid plaque in people with carotid artery stenosis
This study tests whether photon-counting CT gives clearer, more detailed pictures of carotid plaques compared with standard CT in patients with carotid artery stenosis to help characterize plaque features.
-
Carotid artery stent for people with carotid narrowing who are high risk for surgery
This study will try a carotid artery stent system in adults with carotid artery narrowing who are considered high risk for carotid endarterectomy.
-
Balloon guide catheter plus filter protection during carotid artery stenting
This trial tests whether adding a balloon guide catheter to the usual distal filter during carotid artery stenting reduces debris-related brain injury in adults with symptomatic (≥50%) or asymptomatic (≥70%) carotid stenosis scheduled for stenting.
-
Ultra-Intensive Lipid-Lowering Therapy in Carotid Artery Stenosis: PCSK9 Inhibitor Plus Statin vs Statin Alone
This study tests whether adding a PCSK9 inhibitor to statin therapy improves the amount of atherosclerosis in people with carotid artery stenosis compared to statin therapy alone.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
NIH-funded research (3)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
Improving Decision Help for Older Adults Facing Carotid Artery Narrowing
A patient-friendly project to create a decision aid to help older adults decide the best way to treat carotid artery stenosis with input from doctors and patients.
-
Analyzing blood flow and plaque characteristics in carotid arteries to improve stroke risk assessment.
This study is looking at how special MRI scans can help us understand the shape of plaque and blood flow in people with narrowed carotid arteries, especially those who don’t have symptoms, to see if we can better identify who might need surgery to prevent a stroke.
-
Understanding how carotid artery disease affects older patients' quality of life
This study is looking at how narrowing of the carotid arteries affects older patients, especially in areas like thinking, sleep, and mood, to see if treatments can help improve their quality of life.
