Article Synopsis
- The study compares the outcomes of transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) and transfemoral carotid artery stenting (tfCAS) over a 3-year period, finding TCAR has significantly lower mortality rates, especially in the first 6 months.
- It analyzed data from over 70,000 patients and adjusted for various demographic and clinical factors, revealing that TCAR patients had higher comorbidities and were older.
- The results indicate that TCAR is associated with a 24% reduction in mortality hazard compared to tfCAS, suggesting it may be the better option for patients needing carotid artery interventions.
