NCT ID NCT07288164
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 129 patients who had surgery to clear blocked neck arteries, a common cause of stroke. Doctors compared two surgical techniques—the eversion method and the conventional method—to see which had fewer complications like stroke or artery re-blockage within 30 days. The goal was to find out which approach is safer and more effective in the short term.
