Preoperative Risk Factors Impacting Length of Stay after Transcarotid Artery Revascularization
Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR), using interoperative flow reversal is a unique, hybrid operation utilized in treating critical carotid artery stenosis. Over the past decade, TCAR has been increasingly used to treat asymptomatic carotid artery disease and has a similar risk profile to traditional carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Postoperative length of stay (LOS) has a significant impact on cost-effectiveness as well as quality outcomes in this expanded setting.
Higher Carotid Bulb Distension Index Correlates With Increased Hypotension & ICU Utilization After Transcarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR)
Post-operative hypotension after TCAR is associated with higher ICU utilization, longer lengths of stay, and increased in-hospital mortality. Mechanisms underlying this complication have yet to be delineated. Our study aim was to identify key intraoperative factors contributing to post-operative hypotension in the setting of TCAR for asymptomatic carotid stenosis.
Survival And Operative Outcomes For Open And Endovascular Repair In Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia
There are limited analyses of survival and postoperative outcomes in chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) utilizing data from large cohorts. Current guidelines recommend open repair (OR) for younger, healthier patients when long-term benefits outweigh increased perioperative risks or for poor endovascular repair (ER) candidates. This study investigated whether long-term outcomes differ between these treatment modalities.
