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 lead to
If successful, this could help doctors identify patients at higher risk for stroke after carotid surgery, allowing for more personalized care.
