Could hidden bacteria in your arteries predict a stroke?
NCT ID NCT06935279
Summary
This study aimed to understand if specific bacteria found in the fatty plaques of neck arteries are linked to a higher risk of stroke or other complications after surgery. Researchers observed 200 patients in China who were having surgery to clear a blocked carotid artery. They analyzed the bacteria in the removed plaque and tracked patients' health afterwards to see if certain bacteria were connected to worse outcomes.
