CAROTID ARTERY DISEASES

This study looks at how long people at high bleeding risk should take two blood thinners after having a stent placed in their carotid artery. About 1,556 participants will first take both aspirin and clopidogrel for 30 days. Then, half will switch to just one blood thinner for 11…

This study follows 1,200 people who received Intervascular grafts or patches during surgery to repair or replace arteries in the neck, chest, or legs. Researchers will check how well the devices work over time, including how often they stay open, need reintervention, or cause inf…

This study enrolls up to 8,000 people with severe carotid artery narrowing (either with or without symptoms) to track how safe carotid stenting is when done by experienced doctors. The main goal is to see how many patients have a stroke or die within 30 days after the procedure. …

This observational study looks at whether bacteria in the mouth can influence the stability of plaques in the carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain. Researchers will collect samples from 200 adults scheduled for carotid surgery to compare the bacteria found in their m…

This study aims to use deep learning (a type of artificial intelligence) to predict a rare but serious complication called cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome, which can occur after surgery to open blocked carotid arteries. Researchers will analyze data from 500 adults aged 30-80 wh…
