CAROTID ARTERY DISEASES

This study looks at people with narrowed neck arteries who are at high risk for bleeding. After a stent procedure, they take two blood thinners for 30 days. Then, half switch to one blood thinner for 11 months, while the other half stay on two. The goal is to see if using one blo…

This study is a registry that will follow about 1,200 people who have had surgery to repair or replace arteries in the neck, chest, or legs using special grafts. The goal is to see how well these grafts work over time and if they cause any problems, like blockages or infections. …

This study is a registry that will enroll up to 8,000 people with severe narrowing of the carotid arteries (the main arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain). The goal is to track how safe and effective a procedure called carotid artery stenting is when done by skille…

This observational study looks at whether bacteria in the mouth can influence the stability of plaques in the carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain. Researchers will collect samples from 200 adults scheduled for carotid surgery to compare the bacteria found in their m…

This study aims to use deep learning (a type of artificial intelligence) to predict a rare but serious complication called cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome, which can occur after surgery to open blocked carotid arteries. Researchers will analyze data from 500 adults aged 30-80 wh…
