Female and Male Patients Have Similar Outcomes After TransCarotid Artery Revascularization in Prospective Trials

Sex disparities in outcomes after carotid revascularization have long been a concern, with several studies demonstrating increased post-operative death and stroke for female patients after either carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or transfemoral stenting (TF-CAS). Adverse events after TF-CAS are higher in female patients, particularly in symptomatic cases. Our objective was to investigate outcomes after transcarotid revascularization (TCAR) stratified by patient sex hypothesizing that the results would be similar between males and females.
