Which anesthetic shields the brain better during carotid surgery?
NCT ID NCT07602400
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two common anesthetics used during carotid artery surgery to see which one better protects the brain from small areas of damage. About 160 adults having planned carotid surgery will get either an intravenous or inhaled anesthetic. Researchers will compare brain scans and thinking tests done before and after surgery, along with blood markers of brain injury, to find out which drug is safer.
