About this study

Stenting is an alternative to traditional surgery in the treatment of carotid stenosis.The intra and/or postprocedural cerebral embolization remains the most frequent complication.

The type of carotid stent and of cerebral protection are the two most important variables potentially affecting the rate of cerebral microembolization. So far there no consensus on the the best stent and cerebral protection.

Being tested
Filterwire EZ™, MO.MA Ultra, Stent Roadsaver®, Carotid Wallstent

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. number of microembolization signals (MES) detected with transcranial doppler

    different phases of carotid stenting (lesion wiring; predilation; stent crossing of the lesion; stent deployment; stent post dilation; device retrieval/deflation

    Measured: intraprocedural

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Clinical success

    all strokes, major and minor strokes, myocardial infarction

    Measured: day 2 or day 3 and day 30 complication

  2. 6 month clinical follow up

    all strokes, major and minor strokes, myocardial infarction

    Measured: 6 month

  3. Doppler ultrasound assesment

    stent patency and long term restenosis of target carotid artery and target vessel external carotid artery

    Measured: day 2 or day 3, 1 month and 6 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Filterwire EZ™, MO.MA Ultra and Stent Roadsaver® in people with Carotid Stenosis, run by Centro Cardiologico Monzino at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Piero Montorsi, MD (0039 0258002 ext. 576, piero.montorsi@ccfm.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

number of microembolization signals (MES) detected with transcranial doppler (time frame: intraprocedural). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02915328, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Sep 2016.
