Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing a new device called the Neuroguard IEP System for people with significant narrowing of the carotid arteries. The device opens up the blocked artery, catches any loose particles, and keeps the artery open with a small tube. This group is targeted because they are at high risk for complications from traditional surgery.
