Carotid Web and Stroke Registry. Clinical and Genetic Study. "Registro de Pacientes Con Carotid Web e Ictus. Estudio clínico y genético"

Introduction:

Carotid Web (CW) is a common cause of stroke in young patients with a high recurrence rate. The factors associated with recurrences and the appropriate treatment to prevent them are currently unknown.

Main objective:

To compare recurrences of ischemic stroke (cerebral infarction or transient ischemic attack) in patients with CW according to the preventive treatment.

Secondary objectives:

  • To describe the frequency of recurrences in patients with stroke and CW.
  • To compare the risk of complications, especially hemorrhagic complications, in patients with stroke and CW according to the type of preventive treatment given.
  • To describe the clinical and radiological characteristics of CW and identify which are associated with recurrences.
  • To detect genetic polymorphisms associated with the presence of CW in stroke patients.

Study design:

Multicenter, prospective registry of consecutive cases with ischemic stroke in which a Carotid Web is detected between 2022 and 2024.

All patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack and age > or = 18 years, in whom a Carotid Web is diagnosed, will be included. Demographic and clinical variables, genetic study (not mandatory), diagnostic methods of CW, reperfusion treatment and secondary prevention will be collected. During a minimum follow-up of six months, vascular events (stroke, transient ischemic accidents, cerebral hemorrhages) and treatments (antiplatelet therapy, anticoagulation, endarterectomy, endovascular therapy) will be collected.

Once the registry has been completed, the frequency of recurrences and the factors associated with them will be analyzed.

Study population:

Patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack in whom a Carotid Web is detected. It is estimated to obtain data from approximately 100 patients.

Variables:

Demographic, clinical (past medical history, stroke characteristics), radiological (diagnostic method of CW, morphological characteristics of CW), therapeutic (preventive treatment initiated) and prognostic variables will be collected. Recurrences in the form of stroke or transient ischemic attack (main variable) will be collected during a minimum follow-up of six months. Cerebral hemorrhages, mortality and therapeutic changes during follow-up will also be collected.

Ethical considerations:

This is an observational registry, with no changes in the management or treatment of the patients included, and with an anonymized data registry. Written informed consent will be requested from the patient or his/her representative for participation in the registry and for obtaining a blood sample for the genetic study.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients with ischemic stroke or TIA and an age > or = 18 years, in whom a CW is diagnosed during the etiological study, will be included.

A CW will be defined by the presence of a focal and homogeneous intraluminal protrusion (shelf-like), without calcific component, located in the posterior or postero-lateral wall of the proximal internal carotid artery or carotid bulb. The diagnosis should be made by angioCT, angioMRI or arteriography.

Both patients with a CW ipsilateral to the ischemic event and those with a CW unrelated to the ischemic event will be included.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with ischemic stroke or TIA and
  • Age > or = 18 years.
  • Carotid Web diagnosed by angioCT, angioMRI or arteriography.
  • Consent to participate from patient or representative

Exclusion Criteria:

  • No informed consent obtained
