U.S., March 11 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07462546) titled 'Transcranial Doppler for Internal Carotid Artery Stenting (TCD-ICAS)' on March 05.
Brief Summary: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) prevents stroke but carries risks of perioperative cerebral embolism. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound can detect microemboli during CAS and may offer therapeutic benefits through ultrasound-enhanced thrombolysis. Trials like SONOBUSTER and SONOBIRDIE suggest TCD reduces new brain infarctions during carotid procedures. The TCD-ICAS trial will investigate whether TCD application during and after CAS reduces perioperative cerebral emboli and improves outcomes.
