Neck filter implants aim to stop repeat strokes in heart patients
NCT ID NCT05723926
First seen Apr 12, 2026 · Last updated May 31, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study tests whether placing small filter devices in the neck arteries can catch blood clots before they reach the brain, reducing stroke risk in people with atrial fibrillation who have already had a stroke. About 2,000 participants will either receive the implants plus standard blood thinners or blood thinners alone. The goal is to see if the implants lower the chance of another major stroke without causing serious side effects.
