Wrist access may be safer for carotid stenting in major new trial
NCT ID NCT05416853
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 2 times
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.
