CAROTID ARTERY DISEASES

This study follows 1,200 people who received special fabric tubes (grafts) to repair or replace damaged arteries in the neck, belly, or legs. Researchers want to see how well the grafts work over time and how often problems like blockages or infections happen. It is an observatio…

This study looks at how long people at high risk of bleeding should take two blood thinners after having a carotid artery stent placed. About 1,556 participants will first take both aspirin and clopidogrel for 30 days, then be split into two groups: one continues both drugs for 1…

This registry will follow 8,000 people with severe carotid artery disease who receive a stent to open the blocked artery. The main goal is to track how many have a stroke or die within 30 days of the procedure. The results will help select skilled doctors for a larger randomized …

This study tests whether using a carotid ultrasound (a neck scan) to find hidden plaque in arteries can help prevent heart attacks and strokes in people with inflammatory rheumatic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. About 1,944 participants aged 50 and older will be spl…

This study looks at whether bacteria in your mouth can influence the buildup of fatty plaques in the neck arteries that supply blood to the brain. Researchers will collect samples from 200 adults having surgery to remove these plaques and compare the bacteria found in the mouth, …

This study is testing whether a deep learning model can predict cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS), a rare but serious brain complication that can occur after carotid artery surgery. Researchers will enroll 500 adults aged 30-80 who are having carotid revascularization. The g…
