Clinical Trial: Stenting vs. Surgery to Prevent Stroke

This study is currently recruiting patients.

Sponsored by: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
Information provided by: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)

Purpose

The purpose of the Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy versus Stenting Trial (CREST) is to compare the relatively new procedure of stent-assisted carotid angioplasty (CAS) to the traditional and accepted surgical approach of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis to prevent recurrent strokes in those patients who have had a TIA (transient ischemic attack) or a mild stroke within the past 6 months (symptomatic) and in those patients who have not had any symptoms within the past 6 months (asymptomatic).

Condition Treatment or Intervention Phase
Stroke
Cerebral Infarction
Carotid Stenosis
Atherosclerosis
 Procedure: carotid endarterectomy
 Procedure: carotid angioplasty with stenting
Phase III

MedlinePlus related topics:  Carotid Artery Disease;   Stroke;   Vascular Diseases

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Prevention, Randomized

Official Title: Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy versus Stenting Trial (CREST)

Further Study Details: 

Study start: December 2000

The primary aim of the Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy versus Stenting Trial (CREST) is to contrast the relative effectiveness of carotid artery stenting (CAS) versus carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in preventing stroke, myocardial infarction, and death. Stents are medical devices approved and commonly used for treatment of heart disease. The stent that will be used in this trial is the ACCULINK(TM) Carotid Stent System, an elastic-like metal scaffold that is expanded inside a carotid artery to hold the vessel open.

The RX ACCUNET(TM) Embolic Protection System (an umbrella-like device that expands above the narrowed portion of the carotid artery) will be used in conjunction with the RX ACCULINK stent. The RX ACCUNET system is designed to capture embolic material that could break off from the narrowed area in the carotid artery while still allowing blood to flow through the vessel during the procedure. Embolic material could block blood flow to the arteries beyond the narrowing and be harmful to the brain. The RX ACCUNET System is closed and removed after the stent is placed.

CEA involves a neck incision and physical removal of the plaque from the inside of the artery. CAS involves insertion of a catheter or tube into an artery in the groin and then threading the catheter through the arteries of the body to the location of the plaque within the carotid artery in the neck. The stent is then placed to cover the plaque and hold the artery open. Participants will be randomly assigned to undergo either CAS or CEA, and all patients will receive best medical management, which includes treatment with aspirin, treatment of high blood pressure, and treatment of other stroke risk factors. Participants will be followed for up to four years.

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:  18 Years and above,  Genders Eligible for Study:  Both

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Symptomatic patients with recent neurological events (TIA or non-disabling stroke) with an associated carotid stenosis greater than 50% by angiography or greater than 70% by ultrasound are eligible for randomization.
  • Asymptomatic patients with no recent (in the last 6 months) neurological events referable to the study with artery and carotid stenosis (patients with symptoms beyond 180 days are considered asymptomatic) greater than 60% by angiography or greater than 70% by ultrasound are eligible for randomization

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Conditions that: (1) interfere with the evaluation of endpoints, (2) are known to interfere with the completion of CEA or CAS, or (3) affect the likelihood of survival for the study period (4 years). Chronic atrial fibrillation and/or anti-coagulation or episodic atrial fibrillation within the last 6 months.
