Chorioretinal Vascularization and Electrophysiological Changes After Carotid Revascularization

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Carotid Stenosis

• Registration Number: NCT05835869
• Lead Sponsor: Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate changes in retinal function by means of electro-functional examinations of the retina and to associate them with any changes in chorioretinal vascular density occurring in the ipsilateral eye after carotid revascularization surgery.
