Transcarotid Artery Revascularization Sustains Its Advantage Over Transfemoral Carotid Artery Stenting in the Longer Term: Propensity Score-Matched Three-Year Outcomes

The superiority of transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) over transfemoral carotid artery stenting (TFCAS) has been established in the perioperative period with a lower risk of stroke and death. However, it remains unclear whether TCAR will sustain its advantage in the longer term. We evaluated the 3-year outcomes for death, transient ischemic attack (TIA), stroke, and myocardial infarction (MI) after TCAR and TFCAS.
