NCT ID NCT02804659

First seen Jun 13, 2026 ยท 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.
