REstoring Flow by REvascularization With Submaximal Angioplasty in Hemodynamic IntraCranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis (NCT03729817)
VERiTAS-2 REFRESH ICAS (REstoring Flow by REvascularization With Submaximal Angioplasty in Hemodynamic IntraCranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
By assessing the safety and durability of an endovascular intervention, this study will justify and inform the design of a subsequent seamless feasibility/pivotal trial aimed at the treatment of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS), an entity which carries a high risk of stroke despite existing medical therapies, and has no other treatment options. Given the global burden of ICAS as a leading cause of stroke, there is a high potential for public health impact not just in the U.S., but world-wide.
