The utilization of intravascular lithotripsy to facilitate transcarotid artery stenting in a nonagenarian patient.
Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery 2020 July 2
Carotid artery disease and stroke account for the second cause of mortality in worldwide. Recently, transcarotid artery stenting (TCAR) has emerged as a treatment modality that carries the lowest a very low stroke rate. However, there are limitations to TCAR, such as heavily calcified plaques that might preclude optimal stent expansion. We describe a successful transcarotid artery stenting with flow reversal performed in an independent and active nonagenarian with focal, circumferentially calcified carotid artery plaque, for which intravascular lithotripsy was utilized.
