Phase N/A

Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA) is a surgery to remove plaque from the carotid artery, which helps improve blood flow to the brain and prevents strokes. In this study, doctors want to find out which of two techniques, Conventional CEA (C-CEA) or Eversion CEA (E-CEA), is safer and more effective. C-CEA involves a vertical cut in the artery and closing it with a patch, while E-CEA uses a different method to remove plaque. Both techniques are used for patients with carotid stenosis, a condition where arteries are narrowed by plaque, leading to possible strokes.

Researchers will work with 40 patients, divided into two groups to test each method. Doctors are seeking patients who have had strokes or show severe symptoms from artery narrowing. However, those with non-atherosclerotic conditions or recent strokes within two weeks aren't eligible.

  • Study involves 40 participants, divided equally to test different techniques.
  • Participants should have carotid stenosis with symptoms or a history of stroke.
  • This study compares safety and effectiveness of two surgical methods.

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
