ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a condition called carotid artery stenosis, which is a narrowing of the carotid arteries that can lead to strokes. The goal of the trial is to gather detailed images and data about how blood flows through these arteries. By using advanced imaging techniques and computer analysis, researchers hope to better understand how to improve surgical treatments, such as carotid endarterectomy (a procedure to remove plaque from the artery) and carotid artery stenting (inserting a small tube to keep the artery open). This research aims to help tailor these treatments for individual patients, ultimately enhancing their recovery and quality of life.

To participate in the study, you need to be diagnosed with carotid stenosis. The trial is open to adults aged 65 to 74 years and also those between 29 and 219 years old. However, people with certain other conditions, like severe heart or kidney disease, or those with vascular malformations or aneurysms, cannot join. If eligible, participants will undergo various imaging tests and monitoring to help improve our understanding of how to better manage carotid artery stenosis and prevent strokes.
