NCT ID NCT05416853

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two ways to perform carotid artery stenting—a procedure that opens narrowed neck arteries to prevent stroke. The standard method uses an artery in the groin, while the experimental method uses an artery in the wrist. Researchers will enroll 3000 adults with significant carotid narrowing to see if the wrist approach is as safe and effective, with fewer complications and more comfort.
