Outcomes of Transcarotid Artery Revascularization Stratified by Institutional Designation: Academic Versus Community Hospitals.

Background: The extent of practice setting's influence on transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) outcomes is not yet established. This study seeks to assess and compare TCAR outcomes in academic and community-based healthcare settings.

Methods: Retrospective review of prospectively maintained, systemwide TCAR databases from 2 institutions was performed between 2015 and 2022.

Effect of Perioperative Stroke on Survival After Carotid Intervention.

Objectives: Perioperative stroke is the most dreaded complication of carotid artery interventions and can severely affect patients' quality of life. This study evaluated the impact of this event on mortality for patients undergoing interventional treatment of carotid artery stenosis with three different modalities.

Methods: Patients undergoing carotid revascularization at participating Memorial Hermann Health System facilities were captured from 2003-2022.

Gore cTAG sleeve-associated maldeployment for traumatic aortic injury with aberrant right subclavian artery.

A 30-year-old woman presented following a motor vehicle collision with a grade III blunt thoracic aortic injury and an aberrant right subclavian artery. Using intraoperative ultrasound and diagnostic subtraction angiography, we deployed an aortic endograft (cTAG; W.L.

Propensity-score-matched analysis of dual antiplatelet treatment and alternative antiplatelet regimens after transcarotid revascularizations.

Objective: Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) continues to be the preferred medication regimen after the placement of a carotid stent using the transcarotid revascularization (TCAR) technique despite a dearth of quality data. Therefore, this investigation was performed to define the risks associated with antiplatelet choice.

Methods: We queried all patients who underwent TCAR captured by the Vascular Quality Initiative from September 2016 to June 2022, to determine the association between antiplatelet choice and outcomes.

Spontaneous celiac artery dissection treated by balloon angioplasty.

Spontaneous isolated celiac artery dissection (SICAD) is a rare condition, defined as dissection of the celiac artery without aortic involvement. Because of its low prevalence, most studies have been limited to case reports and case series. We have described the case of a 44-year-old woman who had presented with symptomatic SICAD that had resulted in compromised flow to the hepatic arteries and was successfully treated with balloon angioplasty.
