Carotid updates and controversies

Watch the PVI 2024 session replay for insights on managing symptomatic carotid artery disease in women beyond two weeks. Discover conflicting evidence on gender-based outcomes, why the 2-week revascularisation cut-off is outdated, and the lack of randomised data on optimal timing.

Follow discussions on carotid revascularisation during endovascular thrombectomy for acute stroke, where carotid artery stenting in patients with > 50 % stenosis or occlusion appears feasible and safe—though RCTs are needed for guideline recommendations.

Finally, explore stent design, access site complications after TCAR, and how a step-by-step approach can reduce risks like CCA dissection, cranial nerve injury, pneumothorax, wrong-site access, and post-op stroke—reinforcing that carotid revascularisation is truly a team effort!
