Effectiveness of Transcarotid vs Transfemoral Carotid Stenting for Stroke Prevention.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The effectiveness of surgical transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) compared with percutaneous transfemoral carotid artery stenting (TF-CAS) for stroke prevention beyond the periprocedural period is poorly quantified.

Objective

To compare the risk of stroke after TCAR vs TF-CAS.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective cohort study used data from the Vascular Implant Surveillance and Outcomes Network (VISION), a procedural registry linked to Medicare claims data that captures clinical, procedural, and outcome data on patients who underwent carotid stenting. Patients who underwent TCAR or TF-CAS between October 1, 2016, and December 31, 2019, and were captured in the VISION database were included. Data were analyzed between January and Jun
