Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose is to test whether a short-term, high-dose atorvastatin treatment (80mg once a daily (QD) from 3 days before to 3 days after CAS, then 20 mg QD until 30 days after CAS) is superior to conventional-dose atorvastatin treatment (20 mg QD from 3 days before to 30 days after CAS), in terms of efficacy for prevention of periprocedural ischemic brain damage in Chinese patients undergoing CAS.


Clinical Trial Description

Chinese patients with carotid stenosis scheduled for selective CAS will be randomized into two groups. The High-dose Atorvastatin group will receive Atorvastatin 80 mg QD from 3 days before to 3 days after CAS, then 20 mg QD until 30 days after CAS, while the Conventional-dose Atorvastatin group will receive Atorvastatin 20 mg QD from 3 days before to 30 days after CAS. All patients will receive cerebral diffusion-weighted (DW)-MRI within 7 days before CAS. Then, they will also receive repeated DW-MRI within 5 days after CAS. Efficacy for prevention of periprocedural ischemic brain damage of the two different Atorvastatin treatments will be compared, in terms of periprocedural incidence of transient ischemic attack (TIA)/ ischaemic stroke or new ischemic lesions on cerebral DW-MRI. ;
