Carotid Endarterectomy and Transcarotid Artery Revascularization can be Performed with Acceptable Morbidity and Mortality in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are considered a high-risk population, and the optimal approach to the treatment of carotid disease remains unclear. Thus, we compared outcomes following carotid revascularization for patients with CKD by operative approach of carotid endarterectomy (CEA), transfemoral carotid artery stenting (TFCAS), and transcarotid arterial revascularization (TCAR).
