Mahmoud Malas (San Diego, USA) presented, for the first time, updated results from the TransCarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR) Surveillance Project at the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) Vascular Annual Meeting (VAM; 12–15 June, National Harbor, USA).
Malas distilled the data highlights for Vascular News, providing “strong evidence” on the safety and effectiveness of TCAR, which showed lower odds of composite in-hospital stroke, death and myocardial infarction compared to carotid endarterectomy (CEA), as well as lower odds of one-year mortality. He said: “TCAR provides a CEA-like neuroprotection by clamping the carotid artery”.
