What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial compares two types of patches used to close the artery after carotid endarterectomy, a surgery that removes blockages in the neck artery to prevent stroke. The Accuseal patch, a newer synthetic option, is tested against the Bovine Pericardial patch, which has been used for decades. The goal is to see which patch better reduces bleeding during surgery, lowers the risk of stroke, and prevents the artery from narrowing again over time. The study includes patients with significant carotid artery narrowing, whether they have had symptoms or not.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Two surgical patches used to close the artery after carotid endarterectomy: the Accuseal patch (a synthetic material) and the Bovine Pericardial patch (made from cow tissue).
What this could lead to
If the Accuseal patch works better, it could reduce the risk of stroke and keep the carotid artery open longer after surgery, improving long-term outcomes for patients.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with 200 patients, so results may not apply broadly. The Accuseal patch might have a longer bleeding time, and long-term benefits are not yet proven.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Symptomatic patients with \>50% stenosis or Asymptomatic patients \>60% stenosis: i.e.: patients experiencing a neurological event(s) such as a trans-ischemic attack, cerebrovascular accident, amaurosis fugax, and/or a preoperative duplex ultrasound, magnetic resonance angiogram, or Angiogram indicative of severe \> 60% carotid artery stenosis. Exclusion Criteria: * will be enforced for those less than 18 years of age, patients who for religious reasons can not accept a Bovine Pericardial patch and those with a combined procedure ie: coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and CEA.
