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

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 is a prospective observational cohort enrolling adults with coronary artery disease who are scheduled for elective percutaneous coronary intervention at Beijing Anzhen Hospital. Participants receive Doppler ultrasound screening of head and neck arteries the day before PCI to document any cervicocephalic arterial stenosis and its severity. The study records which management approach is used—observation, cerebrovascular intervention such as carotid stenting, or combined procedures—and tracks clinical outcomes including stroke, cardiac events, and death. Data will provide real-world information on the prevalence of concurrent stenosis and the associations between different integrated treatment strategies and patient outcomes.
