Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) is a novel method to treat severe stenosis of the carotid artery with minimal embolization. During TCAR, flow reversal system redirects blood from the internal, external, and common carotid arteries into the femoral vein through a filter system to prevent debris and microparticles from entering the cerebral circulation. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) monitoring allows real-time detection of blood flow in the cerebral arteries during the operation and informs the surgeon of flow changes or possible emboli.

Background Combining left atrial appendage closure with catheter ablation (LAACCA) has been proposed as a potential approach to improving outcomes by simultaneously addressing arrhythmia and reducing stroke risk. This study compares the in-hospital outcomes of LAACCA vs. catheter ablation (CA) alone for atrial fibrillation (AFib) in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

Arterial stiffness, as determined by pulse wave velocity (PWV), is a recognized marker of cardiovascular risk. Noninvasive technologies have enabled easier and more accessible assessments of PWV. The current gold standard for measuring carotid-femoral PWV (cfPWV)-a reliable indicator of arterial stiffness-utilizes applanation tonometry devices, as recommended by the Artery Society Guidelines.
