Shorter blood thinner course may be safer after carotid stenting for High-Risk patients

NCT ID NCT06276374

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how long people at high risk of bleeding should take two blood thinners after having a carotid artery stent placed. About 1,556 participants will first take both aspirin and clopidogrel for 30 days, then be split into two groups: one continues both drugs for 11 more months, while the other switches to just one blood thinner. The goal is to see if the shorter dual therapy reduces serious bleeding while still preventing strokes and heart attacks.
