Could a common drug shield the brain during risky artery surgery?

NCT ID NCT05126238

Summary

This study tested if giving lithium carbonate before carotid artery surgery could protect the brain from short-term damage caused by reduced blood flow during the operation. The goal was to see if it could reduce post-surgery problems like confusion, agitation, and delirium. The trial was a Phase 3 study involving 107 patients, but it was terminated early.
