About this trial

The VQI TCAR Surveillance Project is designed to monitor the safety and effectiveness of stents placed directly into the carotid artery while reversing blood flow within the carotid artery to reduce stroke risk. It will compare this less-invasive surgical procedure with standard carotid endarterectomy in centers that participate in the Society for Vascular Surgery Vascular Quality Initiative.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

None

Disqualifiers

Patients who have received a previous stent in the target artery.

Trial population

All patients who undergo TCAR and CEA in hospitals participating in the CAS or CEA registries of the SVS PSO
