Impact of Race on Perioperative Outcomes Following Carotid Endarterectomy, Transfemoral Carotid Artery Stenting, and Transcarotid Artery Revascularization

Carotid artery revascularization is performed less frequently among Black and minority populations despite a higher incidence of stroke and greater cardiovascular and stroke risk profile. Limited data exists on what impact race has on outcomes following carotid interventions. We assessed racial differences in perioperative outcomes following carotid endarterectomy (CEA), transfemoral carotid artery stenting (tfCAS), and transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) using the Vascular Quality Initiative database.
