Blood test may predict stroke after carotid surgery
NCT ID NCT05572320
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to see if a blood test measuring platelet function could predict neurological events like stroke in people undergoing carotid artery surgery. Researchers planned to enroll 650 patients but the study was terminated early. The test uses a device called Multiplate to check how sticky platelets are, which might be linked to stroke risk.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors identify patients at higher risk for stroke after carotid surgery, allowing for more personalized care.
- What could go wrong
- The study was terminated early, so results may be incomplete. It was an observational study, not testing a new treatment, so it cannot directly improve outcomes.
