First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This study compares a special stent (CARESTO® heal) plus standard medical care against medical care alone in 536 people who recently had a stroke or eye ischemia due to a non-narrowing but risky carotid plaque. The goal is to see if the stent reduces the chance of another stroke or eye artery blockage over the mid- and long-term. Participants must have had their stroke within the last two weeks and have high-risk plaque features.
