Clinical trials

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if patients who receive extra support stay on their cholesterol-lowering therapy and therefore have lower cholesterol levels after 4 months. Extra support means regular phone calls and close monitoring before and after carotid artery surgery. The study compares this approach to usual care. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to either standard care or extra support for 4 months. Receive cholesterol-lowering treatment and attend follow-up visits.
