CEA associated with less reintervention than stenting in first six months-study
A durability study that looks at reintervention risk among patients treated with carotid endarterectomy (CEA) versus carotid artery stenting (CAS) procedures established that CEA...
Vascular community split over ‘death’ of traditional carotid stenting
A debate between two prominent carotid interventionists—Peter Schneider, MD, professor of vascular and endovascular surgery at University of California San Francisco in San Francisco,...
Distal embolic protection linked to significantly better outcomes in carotid stenting
Distal embolic protection using a filter has been associated with improved transfemoral carotid artery stenting (tfCAS) outcomes in terms of in-hospital stroke and death...
Equivalency to clinical practice ‘varies considerably’ across recent carotid intervention trials
The transferability to real-world clinical practice of contemporary randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating carotid artery stenosis interventions “varies considerably,” according to a recent analysis...
JACC study makes case for expanding coverage for carotid artery stenting
Research from Ochsner Health published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) is likely to influence expanded insurance coverage for carotid artery stenting.
The...
Female sex ‘should be considered an independent risk factor’ for new...
A preliminary report lends evidence to support female sex being considered as an independent risk factor for new stroke occurrence after carotid revascularization in...
Carotid stenting demonstrates comparable short- and long-term results to endarterectomy
Pooled patient-level data from more than 2,500 asymptomatic, non-octogenarian subjects have shown that carotid artery stenting (CAS) achieved comparable short- and long-term results to...
Interview: Combating the problem of spin, or overinterpretation, in RCTs
The presence of spin, or overinterpretation, in scientific papers that ultimately demonstrate statistically insignificant findings had been gnawing away at Thomas Forbes, MD, for...
SVS issues new guidelines covering carotid disease and popliteal aneurysms
The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) has released updated clinical practice guidelines for the management of extracranial cerebrovascular disease and popliteal artery aneurysms in...
Study detects no difference in adverse outcomes from balloon dilatation strategy...
Avoiding a strategy of post-stent balloon dilation during transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) may be unnecessary—a “contradistinction” to results shown in conventional transfemoral carotid artery...
TCAR may be associated with favorable outcomes in restenotic carotid lesions,...
Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) may be associated with favorable in-hospital outcomes for the treatment of restenotic carotid lesions after carotid endarterectomy (CEA), suggests a...
Analysis shows TCAR is more cost effective than CAS for carotid...
Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) produces similar outcomes to the gold standard treatment for carotid stenosis—carotid endarterectomy (CEA)—but comes at a greater cost. This was...
