A Diffusion-weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging-based Study of Carotid Endarterectomy Versus Transcervical Carotid Artery Revascularization with Double Mesh Stent

Introduction: Endarterectomy remains the gold standard in carotid artery revascularization because carotid artery stenting entails more embolization. But the Roadster trial with the transcervical approach showed excellent results, similar to CEA stroke rates. The new generation stent is supposed to reduce plaque prolapse and postoperative embolization. The use of this stent in combination with the transcervical approach could improve the Roadster results.
