Objective: Sex disparities in outcomes after carotid revascularization have long been a concern, with several studies demonstrating increased postoperative death and stroke for female patients after either carotid endarterectomy or transfemoral stenting. Adverse events after transfemoral stenting are higher in female patients, particularly in symptomatic cases. Our objective was to investigate outcomes after transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) stratified by patient sex hypothesizing that the results would be similar between males and females.

Objective: This study reports the results of a prospective, multicenter trial designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the polymer based Endologix Alto Stent Graft System in treating abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), with sealing 7 mm below the top of the fabric in aortic neck diameters from 16 to 30 mm.

Methods: Seventy-five patients were treated with Alto devices between March 2017 and February 2018 in 16 centers in the United States for infrarenal AAAs (max diameter ≥5.0 cm in diameter or size increase by 0.

Objective: We report the 6- and 12-month outcomes of the PROMISE I early feasibility study after treatment of no-option chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) with percutaneous deep vein arterialization (pDVA) using the LimFlow System.

Methods: Thirty-two patients with no-option CLTI, previously offered major amputation, were enrolled in this single-arm early feasibility study of the LimFlow pDVA System. No-option CLTI was defined as being ineligible for surgical or endovascular arterial revascularization.

Background And Purpose: Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) is comprised of carotid artery stent placement with cerebral protection via proximal carotid artery clamping and reversal of cerebral arterial flow. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TCAR performed by a broad group of physicians with variable TCAR experience.

Methods: The ROADSTER 2 study is a prospective, open label, single arm, multicenter, postapproval registry for patients undergoing TCAR.

Despite recent guideline updates on peripheral artery disease (PAD) and critical limb ischemia (CLI) treatment, the optimal treatment for CLI is still being debated. As a result, care is inconsistent, with many CLI patients undergoing an amputation prior to what many consider to be mandatory: consultation with an interdisciplinary specialty care team and a comprehensive imaging assessment. More importantly, quality imaging is critical in CLI patients with below-the-knee disease.

Critical limb ischemia (CLI), defined as ischemic rest pain or nonhealing ulceration due to arterial insufficiency, represents the most severe and limb-threatening manifestation of peripheral artery disease. A major challenge in the optimal treatment of CLI is that multiple specialties participate in the care of this complex patient population. As a result, the care of patients with CLI is often fragmented, and multidisciplinary societal guidelines have not focused specifically on the care of patients with CLI.
