U.S., Aug. 1 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07740408) titled 'OCT in Endovascular Recanalization of Chronic Carotid Artery Occlusion' on July 20.
Brief Summary: Chronic carotid artery occlusion is an important cause of ischemic stroke. Even with best medical therapy, patients with symptomatic disease may continue to have recurrent ipsilateral transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke and may have a substantial burden of cognitive decline. Advances in guidewires, microcatheters, distal protection devices, and endovascular techniques have improved the technical success of CCAO recanalization; however, the overall clinical benefit of endovascular therapy appears highly dependent on patient sele...
