NCT ID NCT03295773
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study uses advanced 3D-rotational angiography to track how fatty plaques in brain arteries change over one year in 140 people who have had a stroke or mini-stroke. Participants will have two scans 12 months apart while managing heart risk factors. The goal is to understand plaque growth and remodeling, which may improve future stroke prevention strategies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors better predict stroke risk and tailor treatments for people with narrowed brain arteries.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks at images over time, so it won't directly improve health or provide new therapies.
