Early Outcomes in the ROADSTER 2 Study of Transcarotid Artery Revascularization in Patients With Significant Carotid Artery Disease.

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.

A tibioperoneal trunk mycotic pseudoaneurysm successfully treated with ligation.

We present the case of a 68-year-old man with a tibioperoneal trunk mycotic pseudoaneurysm, a rarity in the modern age of antibiotics. We describe the patient's hospitalizations and workups that ultimately led to this diagnosis and our management with open ligation without bypass. This case highlights the importance of combining a thorough history and physical examination with laboratory and imaging data while keeping in mind a broad differential diagnosis.

Pseudoaneurysm of the posterior tibial artery after manipulation under anesthesia of a total ankle replacement.

Although pseudoaneurysm of the posterior tibial artery has been reported, no investigators have discussed the development of a pseudoaneurysm after manipulation under anesthesia of a total ankle replacement. We present the case of a 59-year-old female with end-stage post-traumatic tibiotalar joint disease who underwent an uneventful INBONE® Total Ankle Replacement. She experienced continued postoperative pain and impingement after physical therapy.
