NCT ID NCT02804659
First seen Jun 13, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026
Summary
This study looked at small molecules called microRNAs in the blood and in fatty plaques removed from the carotid arteries of 14 adults during surgery. The goal was to see if certain microRNAs could serve as new biomarkers to better understand and track carotid artery disease. The research did not test any treatment, but aimed to gather knowledge for future diagnostic or therapeutic advances.
