NCT ID NCT05845710

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a new device that combines a stent, a filter to catch debris, and a balloon in one system for treating narrowed carotid arteries. It involved 178 patients at high risk for standard surgery. The main goal was to see if the device reduces the chance of stroke, heart attack, or death within 30 days.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Neuroguard IEP Direct System (a carotid stent with an integrated embolic filter and post-dilation balloon)

What this could lead to

If successful, this device could offer a safer way to open blocked carotid arteries in patients who are too high-risk for traditional surgery, potentially reducing stroke risk.

What could go wrong

This is a single-arm study with no comparison group, so results may not prove superiority over existing treatments. The device is new, and long-term safety data are not yet available.
