Study Summary

This trial is testing a new carotid stent system used with an embolic protection system. The safety and effectiveness of the system will be evaluated in patients at elevated risk for adverse events following carotid endarterectomy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 21-80 with carotid artery stenosis who are at high risk for surgery. Eligible participants must have a lesion that can be treated with the Roadsaver™ stent, meet certain anatomical or health-related criteria indicating higher surgical risks, and agree to follow-up requirements. Exclusions include those with other potential emboli sources, atrial fibrillation, severe blood disorders, uncontrolled diabetes, recent major strokes or heart attacks, and women who are pregnant.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of the Roadsaver™ Carotid Stent System used alongside the Nanoparasol® Embolic Protection System in patients with carotid artery stenosis. It's an observational study where all participants receive this combination treatment to see how well it works compared to traditional surgery.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, typical risks may include reactions to materials in the stent or protection system such as inflammation or allergic responses; complications from procedural errors like vessel damage; bleeding due to antiplatelet medication; and blockage of blood flow leading to stroke-like symptoms.
