Could a simple finger cuff replace risky artery needles in carotid surgery?
NCT ID NCT06965257
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive digital cuff can accurately measure blood pressure continuously during carotid endarterectomy surgery, compared to the standard invasive arterial catheter. The goal is to see if the cuff can provide the same vital information without the risks of infection or injury from the catheter. Forty adults undergoing carotid surgery will have both methods used, and the readings will be compared for accuracy.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ClearSight™ digital cuff (non-invasive blood pressure monitor)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a safer, less invasive way to monitor blood pressure during carotid surgery, reducing infection and injury risks from arterial catheters.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The non-invasive device may not match the accuracy of the standard invasive method.
