Cerebral Monitoring During Transcarotid Artery Revascularization With Flow Reversal by Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound

Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) with the ENROUTE transcarotid neuroprotection and stent system (Silk Road Medical Inc, Sunnyvale, Calif) has provided vascular surgeons with a promising new tool for treating carotid artery stenosis. Results from the Safety and Efficacy Study for Reverse Flow Used During Carotid Artery Stenting Procedure (ROADSTER), a prospective, single-arm, multicenter trial evaluating TCAR efficacy, demonstrated a 30-day stroke rate of 1.4%. These initial results are encouraging and have led to widespread adoption of this technology.
