NCT ID NCT02850081
First seen May 11, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving high doses of statins for two weeks before carotid artery surgery could prevent brain damage and improve thinking. It included 31 adults with severe carotid artery narrowing. The study was stopped early, so the findings are not strong enough to draw clear conclusions.
