Description
Rui Liu and co-authors set out the protocol for a large trial on carotid artery stenting. Their 2026 paper compares two entry routes for the stent: through the wrist artery or through the leg artery. The leg route is standard, but it needs long bed rest and can cause bleeding at the entry site.
The trial plans to enroll up to three thousand patients at seventy centers in China. Patients are assigned at random, in equal shares, to one route or the other. The main outcome counts death, new stroke, heart attack, or severe bleeding within thirty days. The authors test whether the wrist route is no worse than the leg route.
