Abstract
Surgical management of carotid stenosis has evolved from open carotid endarterectomy (CEA) to include multiple alternative procedures including transfemoral carotid artery stenting (tfCAS) and transcarotid artery stenting. In recent years, Transcarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR) has emerged as a third option, combining open cut down to the common carotid artery (CCA) with endovascular stenting and neuroprotection via reversal of cerebral blood flow. In this case series, a modified TCAR procedure using a prosthetic conduit was successfully performed exclusively under local anesthesia in a total of 10 patients with carotid artery stenosis, high cardiac risk, and anatomical contraindications to a traditional TCAR.
期刊介绍:
Vascular and Endovascular Surgery (VES) is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes information to guide vascular specialists in endovascular, surgical, and medical treatment of vascular disease. VES contains original scientific articles on vascular intervention, including new endovascular therapies for peripheral artery, aneurysm, carotid, and venous conditions. This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
