Conditions
Summary
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
Inclusion Criteria1
- All patients undergoing TCAR or CEA both standard surgical risk and high surgical risk as defined by the CMS criteria published in the National Coverage Determination for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (20.7).
Exclusion Criteria1
- Patients who have received a previous stent in the target artery.
