New stent could help stroke recovery
NCT ID NCT06447116
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early study tests a new stent, called CGuard Prime, in 15 adults having a stroke from a blocked carotid artery. The goal is to see if placing the stent is safe and helps patients recover better by 90 days. Researchers will also check for complications like bleeding or new strokes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CGuard Prime™ Carotid Stent System
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new way to open blocked carotid arteries during a stroke, potentially improving recovery and reducing disability.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small trial with only 15 people. It is not yet proven to work, and there are risks like bleeding in the brain or another stroke.
