Shockwaves could clear blocked neck arteries before stenting
NCT ID NCT07512128
First seen Apr 19, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study tests a new device that uses shockwaves to break up calcium buildup in the carotid arteries (the main arteries in the neck) before placing a stent. About 185 adults with hardened carotid arteries will be treated, and researchers will check for serious problems like stroke, heart attack, or death within 30 days. The goal is to make stenting safer and more effective for people with heavily calcified arteries.
