Cerebral artery stenosis

This early study tests a new stent, called CGuard Prime, in 15 adults having a stroke from a blocked carotid artery. The goal is to see if placing the stent is safe and helps patients recover better by 90 days. Researchers will also check for complications like bleeding or new st…

This study planned to compare taking blood thinners for 3 months versus 6 months after placing a special drug-coated stent in a narrowed brain artery. The goal was to see if the shorter treatment was just as good at preventing strokes and bleeding. However, the trial was withdraw…

This phase 3 trial tests whether adding regular, personalized exercise to standard medical care can prevent new strokes in 1300 people with symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis (narrowed arteries in the brain). Participants are randomly assigned to either standard care or s…

This study follows 500 adults under 45 who have narrowing of a major brain artery, a condition that can raise stroke risk. Researchers will track participants over time to see how the narrowing progresses and who goes on to have a stroke. The goal is to better understand the natu…

This study looks at why people with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) — a condition that raises blood clot risk — may have narrowed brain arteries. Researchers will use advanced MRI scans on 60 APS patients to check for artery narrowing and plaque buildup. The goal is to better und…
