Effects of Timing on In-hospital and One-year Outcomes after TransCarotid Artery Revascularization

Current recommendations are to perform carotid endarterectomy (CEA) within two weeks of symptoms due to superior long-term stroke prevention, although urgent CEA within 48-hours has been associated with increased perioperative stroke. With the development and rapid adoption of TransCarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR), we aim to study the impact of timing on outcomes after TCAR.
