Patient selection for transcarotid artery (stent) revascularization

The article entitled “Anatomic eligibility for transcarotid artery revascularization and transfemoral carotid artery stenting” in this issue of the Journal of Vascular Surgery1 is an important study in that it represents the initial report of anatomic eligibility for transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) in a “real-world” practice cohort whose only unifying characteristic was the performance of a carotid intervention and the availability of a carotid computed tomography angiography (CTA) image for retrospective review.
