Ultrasound during artery stenting may cut stroke risk
NCT ID NCT07462546
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether using ultrasound (TCD) during and after carotid artery stenting can reduce small brain injuries caused by clots. About 232 people with severe carotid artery narrowing will be randomly assigned to receive stenting with or without TCD. The goal is to see if TCD lowers the number of new brain lesions seen on MRI.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Transcranial Doppler ultrasound device
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could make carotid stenting safer by reducing the risk of stroke during the procedure.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial with 232 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The ultrasound may not reduce brain lesions as hoped.
