First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a balloon angioplasty procedure can prevent early neurological decline in people who have had a minor stroke due to a narrowed brain artery. The trial will enroll 100 adults who have already received standard medication but still show fluctuating or worsening symptoms. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either balloon angioplasty plus medical therapy or medical therapy alone, and researchers will track how many experience a significant worsening of their condition.
