Evaluating how significant carotid stenosis affects retinal blood flow using automated oximetry

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the impact of significant carotid stenosis on retinal perfusion through the use of automated retinal oximetry. By enrolling 50 patients annually, the study will analyze the relationship between the severity of carotid stenosis and changes in retinal blood flow. The hypothesis is that greater stenosis leads to reduced retinal perfusion, which may be indicated by higher arteriovenous saturation differences. This research could provide insights that expand the criteria for surgical revascularization in patients with carotid stenosis.
