Safety of the transradial approach to carotid stenting.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The multicenter prospective CREST-2 Registry (C2R) provides recent experience in performing carotid artery stenting (CAS) for interventionists to ensure safe performance of CAS.

Objective

To determine the periprocedural safety of CAS performed using a transradial approach relative to CAS performed using a transfemoral approach.

Methods

Patients with ≥70% asymptomatic and ≥50% symptomatic carotid stenosis, ≤80 years of age and at standard or high risk for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) are eligible for the C2R. The primary endpoint was a composite of severe access-related complications. Comparisons were made using propensity-score matched logistic regression.

Results

The mean age of the cohort was 67.6 ± 8.2 years and 1906 (35.1%) were female. Indicatio
