Evaluation of Balloon Guide Catheter as Proximal Protection During Carotid Artery Stenting (EMBO-PROTECT)
NCT: NCT07576790 · NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Brief Summary
Carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) is an effective treatment for carotid artery stenosis but carries a risk of cerebral embolization. This prospective randomized study evaluates the safety and efficacy of proximal embolic protection using a balloon guide catheter during CAS by comparing the incidence of diffusion-weighted MRI-detected microembolisms and symptomatic thromboembolic events between protected and unprotected procedures.
