First seen May 09, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether using a balloon guide catheter during carotid artery stenting can reduce the risk of small strokes. About 126 people with narrowed neck arteries will be randomly assigned to receive the balloon protection or standard care. The main goal is to see if the balloon lowers the number of brain spots seen on MRI after the procedure.
