Summary
Patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid stenosis in whom carotid artery stenting is
planned are randomised between antiplatelet therapy with ticagrelor plus aspirin or
clopidogrel plus aspirin and examined with brain MRI before and after stent treatment. The
proportion of patients with new ischaemic lesions on MRI after treatment is compared between
the two groups.
