Spider Versus Emboshield Distal Protection on Cerebral Microembolization During Vulnerable Plaque in Carotid Artery Stenting — CASH-ES  

Stroke Clinical Trial

Official title: SpiderFX Versus Emboshield Nav6 Distal Protection on Cerebral Microembolization in Vulnerable Plaque During Carotid Artery Stenting

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

A single center, prospective, outcome-assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial study (CASH-ES) is designed to compare the efficiency of two different distal embolism protection devices (SpiderFX and Emboshield NAV6) in during CAS procedure of patients with vulnerable plaque.

Clinical Trial Description

CAS is an alternative to CEA for treating carotid stenosis with a similar efficacy in preventing future stroke. High-intensity signal in the plaque on the TOF-MRA is associated to a high risk of cerebral embolism during stenting. The evidence of protection selection in such patients was limited. A single center, prospective, outcome- assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial study (CASH-ES) is designed to compare the efficiency of two distal embolism protection devices (SpiderFX and Emboshield NAV6) during CAS procedure of patients with vulnerable plaque. Asymptomatic patients with internal carotid artery stenosis ≥ 70% (NASCET) and symptomatic patients with a stenosis ≥ 50% who is over 70 years old, diagnostic of vulnerable plaque on ultrasound or have a high-intensity signal in the relevant plaques on TOF-MRA will be included. Patients are randomized in two balanced groups (1:1) to receive CAS with either distal (Spider FX) or distal (Emboshield NAV6) protection. The primary endpoint is the incidence of new cerebral ipsilateral ischemic lesions on the DW-MRI within 7-days post operation. Secondary endpoints include the number, size, location of new cerebral ischemic lesions on the DW-MRI, the counts of MES during TCCD monitoring during procedure, procedural complications, stroke, myocardial infarction, and death within 7 days. ;
