Mouth bacteria and artery plaque in people undergoing endarterectomy

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

Periodontitis can release bacteria or bacterial components into the bloodstream, and prior work has detected oral microbes in atheroma tissue. In this observational study, investigators will collect dental plaque and atheroma plaque samples from patients undergoing endarterectomy and analyze them for specific periodontal pathogens and bacterial markers. Participants will be grouped using the new periodontal classification, and bacterial counts and frequencies will be compared across groups. Demographic and clinical data will be related to microbial findings to explore associations.
