New stent aims to prevent stroke in patients with clogged neck arteries
NCT ID NCT06365697
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new device called the Ton-bridge carotid stent for treating carotid artery stenosis, a condition where the main arteries in the neck become narrowed, raising stroke risk. Researchers will compare it to a standard stent in 188 patients aged 18-80 who have significant blockage. The main goal is to see if the new stent is as safe and effective, looking at major problems like death, stroke, or heart attack within 30 days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Ton-bridge carotid stent (a mesh tube placed in the neck artery to keep it open)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a safe and effective new option for treating narrowed carotid arteries, potentially reducing the risk of stroke.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-stage trial with only 188 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. There are standard risks like stroke, heart attack, or death from the procedure itself.
