NCT ID NCT06336083
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is looking at whether a rare condition called carotid web, which is a small flap in the neck artery that can raise stroke risk, runs in families. Researchers will use a simple neck ultrasound to screen close relatives (like siblings or children) of people already diagnosed with the condition. The goal is to see how many relatives also have it, which could help guide future screening recommendations.
