A study presented recently at the Vascular Annual Meeting (VAM; 14–17 June, National Harbor, USA) has found that the long-term outcomes of transcarotid artery...
First-time data releases “confirm” Roadsaver carotid stent safety and efficacy
Presenting first-time data from large multicentre European studies at this year's Leipzig Interventional Course (LINC 2023; 6–9 June, Leipzig, Germany), Arne Schwindt (St Franziskus...
Interim data find “no evidence of benefit” for carotid revascularisation additional...
Interim results from the ECST-2 randomised controlled trial (RCT) have shown no evidence that carotid stenosis patients with a low-to-intermediate stroke risk, treated with...
Vascular community split over “death” of traditional carotid stenting
A debate between two prominent carotid interventionists—Peter Schneider (University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, USA) and Domenico Valenti (King's College London, London, UK)—on...
Distal embolic protection linked to significantly better outcomes in carotid stenting
Distal embolic protection using a filter has been associated with improved transfemoral carotid artery stenting (tfCAS) outcomes in terms of in-hospital stroke and death...
Equivalency to clinical practice “varies considerably” across recent carotid intervention trials
The external validity—in other words, the transferability to real-world clinical practice—of contemporary randomised controlled trials (RCTs) investigating carotid artery stenosis interventions “varies considerably”, as...
Endarterectomy and TCAR ‘continue to show superior outcomes’ to transfemoral stenting
Researchers led by a vascular team in Indianapolis found that carotid endarterectomy (CEA) remains the most-used strategy in carotid revascularisation, with CEA and transcarotid...
Carotid stenting demonstrates comparable short- and long-term results to endarterectomy
Pooled patient-level data from more than 2,500 asymptomatic, non-octogenarian subjects have shown that carotid artery stenting (CAS) achieved comparable short- and long-term results to...
Charing Cross audience as-yet unconvinced by data supporting transcarotid artery revascularisation
Audience polling during the Acute Stroke Challenges session at this year’s Charing Cross Symposium (CX 2022; 26–28 April, London, UK and virtual) revealed scepticism...

Carotid stenosis in women: Should the approach differ?
The existing evidence on whether women with carotid stenosis experience inferior treatment outcomes compared to men is mixed—and this uncertainty is reflected in the...
New ESVS carotid guidelines: Key questions answered
Clark Zeebregts (University Medical Centre Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands) and Kosmas Paraskevas (Central Clinic of Athens, Athens, Greece) answer some key questions about the...
Few cases and short timeframe required to overcome learning curve with...
