NCT ID NCT06767657

First seen Mar 27, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study tests whether performing carotid artery surgery within 72 hours of a mini-stroke or minor stroke is better than waiting 4 to 15 days. About 456 adults with a blocked neck artery and recent symptoms will be randomly assigned to one of two timing groups. The goal is to see which approach reduces the risk of a major stroke, heart attack, or death within 90 days.
