Balloon catheter may catch brain clots during artery stenting
NCT ID NCT07576790
First seen May 09, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests whether using a balloon guide catheter during carotid artery stenting can prevent small particles from traveling to the brain and causing strokes. About 126 people with narrowed neck arteries will be randomly assigned to receive the balloon protection or standard stenting. Researchers will use MRI scans to check for brain damage within two days and track strokes or other complications for 30 days.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
balloon guide catheter
What this could lead to
If it works, this could make carotid stenting safer by reducing the chance of stroke during the procedure.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 126 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device may not reduce stroke risk as hoped.
