Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis

The purpose of this study is to determine whether carotid surgery combined with optimal medical therapy improves long-term survival free of ipsilateral stroke in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis at higher-than-average risk of ipsilateral stroke when compared with optimal medical therapy alone.

Evaluation of Brain Health and Surgical Efficacy in Patients With Carotid Artery Stenosis

Carotid Artery StenosisImage

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between the recovery of cerebrovascular morphology and cognitive function before and after surgical treatment in patients with carotid artery stenosis and their preoperative cardiac health status. And combined with preoperative cognitive status, serum markers, and cardiovascular health evaluation indicators, evaluate and predict the possibility of postoperative neurodegenerative diseases and the level of cerebrovascular health in patients.

Effect on Cerebral Oxygenation by Sevoflurane or Propofol Using Near-infrared Spectroscopy in Carotid...

Carotid Stenosis

The aim of this study is comparing the effect on cerebral oxygenation by sevoflurane-remifentanil or propofol-remifentanil anesthesia in patient undergoing carotid endarterectomy. Cerebral oxygenation is measured by near-infrared spectroscopy. Sevoflurane and propofol reduce the cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen in similar degree. Propofol decrease the cerebral blood flow by dose-dependent manner, however, sevoflurane increase the cerebral blood flow in the concentration of avobe 1 MAC. Both drugs are widely used in general anesthesia for neurosurgical procedure, and their effect on cerebral oxygenation are acceptable. There is little data about the effect of general anethetics on cerebral oxygenation in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy, who have imparied cerebral circulation. Our hypothesis is sevoflurane will show better cerebral oxygenation than propofol in patient have impaired cerebral circulation.

Dental Carotid Cognitive Study

Carotid StenosisMild Cognitive Impairment1 more

Periodontal Disease (PD) is present in 60+% of adults >65 years and is associated with tobacco smoking, diabetes, and atherosclerosis that worsen inflammation, comorbidities common in older people with mild to moderate cognitive impairment (MCI). Older MCI patients are prone to poor oral hygiene and dental health, which if untreated worsens inflammation-mediated brain and nervous system function, and accelerates progression to dementia. Asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis (ACAS) is often a silent disease detected in only ~10% of older adults, and may have a strong association with MCI. This study examines the effects of intensive therapy for periodontitis on cognition in high-risk older people with ACAS. Results could highlight PD as a readily modifiable risk factor for dementia.

Melatonin in Patients Under Carotid Endarterectomy

Carotid Stenosis

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of melatonin in the regulation of the vascular injury in patients under carotid endarterectomy through population-based, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Evaluation of the 3-in-1 Neuroguard IEP System for Carotid Artery Stenosis

Carotid Artery Stenosis

The Neuroguard IEP System is a 3-in-1 carotid stent delivery system consisting of an angioplasty balloon, an integrated embolic protection device and a nitinol self-expanding stent loaded over the balloon and constrained by an outer sheath. The PERFORMANCE I study is a multi-center, prospective, single arm open label study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the Neuroguard IEP System for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis. The primary endpoint will be the proportion of patients with Major Adverse Events (MAE) reported within 30 days from the index procedure. The primary objective of the PERFORMANCE I study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the Neuroguard IEP Carotid Stent System when used in patients with clinically significant carotid artery stenosis requiring revascularization.

SONOlysis in Prevention of Brain InfaRctions During Internal Carotid Endarterectomy

Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis

SONOBIRDIE Trial is a randomized, single-blind, sham-controlled study designed for a demonstration of the safety and effectiveness of sonolysis (continual transcranial Doppler (TCD) monitoring) in reduction of risk of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), brain infarctions and cognitive decline using a 2-MHz diagnostic probe with a maximal diagnostic energy on the reduction of risk of brain infarctions by the activation of endogenous fibrinolytic system during carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in patients with ≥ 70% symptomatic or asymptomatic internal carotid artery stenosis. The sample size is based on an expected 2.5% reduction of ischemic stroke, TIA, and death during the 30-day postoperative period in the sonolysis group (estimated prevalence, 1.5 %) compared to the control group (estimated prevalence, 4 %). Pre-study calculations showed that a minimum of 746 patients in each group is needed to reach a significant difference with an alpha value of 0.05 (two-tailed) and a beta value of 0.8 assuming that 10 % would be lost to follow-up or refuse to participate in the study. Consecutive patients will be assigned to the sonolysis or control group by a computer-generated 1:1 randomization. In patients randomized into sonolysis group, middle cerebral artery segment in a depth of 55 mm will be continuously monitored during intervention using a diagnostic 2-MHz TCD probe with a maximal diagnostic energy. In patients randomized into control group, the TCD probe will be fixed in a required position using a special helmet as in sonolysis group patients, but middle cerebral artery segment in a depth of 55 mm will be only localized using a diagnostic 2-MHz TCD probe with a maximal diagnostic energy and the TCD monitoring will be stopped afterwards. Confirmation of the investigators hypothesis that sonothrombolysis is able to activate endogenous fibrinolytic system during CEA with consecutive reduction of ischemic stroke, TIA or death, and the number and volume of brain infarcts, can lead to the increase of the safety of CEA in patients with internal carotid artery stenosis. The investigators can presume that up to 50% of patients indicated for CEA can be treated using these methods in the future.
