Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of a new non-invasive device, the Carotid Stenotic Scan (CSS), to check for stenosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) as compared to a carotid ultrasound study.


Description:

Currently, carotid duplex ultrasound is used for screening for ICA stenosis and must be performed by a trained and certified vascular technologist using advanced duplex imaging equipment and with subsequent interpretation by a trained physician. It would be of value to develop an accurate, reliable, low-cost, and easily accessible tool to screen for extra-cranial ICA disease in an office based setting. However, such a tool would require novel technology that allows for quick, accurate, reproducible, and safe evaluation.

This study will evaluate a new technology called the Carotid Stenotic Scan (CSS) developed by CVR Global. The CSS instrument uses principles of cardiovascular resonance to detect low frequency pressure fluctuations associated with flow disturbances in areas of significant arterial narrowing.

Subjects will undergo a clinically ordered clinical carotid duplex ultrasound as part of standard of care. Subjects will have a noninvasive CSS assessment before or after the carotid duplex ultrasound.

Within 3 months following the date of the initial study visit, the electronic medical record will be queried for any interval correlative imaging studies (CTA, MRA, or angiography) and reports performed up to 1 month prior and 3 months after the duplex examination date. Report of findings will be documented (i.e., % ICA stenosis by CTA/MRA).

Study Design


Intervention

Diagnostic Test:
Carotid Stenotic Scan (CSS)
Placement of the CSS instrument on the carotid arteries to measure degree of stenosis of the carotid artery. The CSS scan takes about 1-2 minutes to gather data for real-time analysis by the processor on the device cart.
