Blood test may flag heart danger before carotid surgery
NCT ID NCT05293067
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether measuring high-sensitive troponin, a protein released during heart injury, can predict heart complications in people undergoing surgery to open a narrowed carotid artery. About 527 participants will have their troponin levels checked before and after the procedure. The goal is to see if this test can help doctors decide who is at higher risk and whether routine testing should be standard.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
high-sensitive troponin test
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors identify which patients are at higher risk of heart problems after carotid surgery, potentially guiding safer treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not prove that troponin testing improves outcomes, and results may not apply to all patients.
