Tiny neck filters aim to catch Stroke-Causing clots before they reach the brain

NCT ID NCT05723926

Summary

This study is testing whether implanting small filters in the neck arteries, along with standard blood thinners, can better prevent repeat strokes in people with atrial fibrillation who have already had one. The filters are designed to catch blood clots before they travel to the brain. The trial will compare stroke rates in 2,000 participants who receive the implants plus medication against those who receive medication alone.
