Exclusion criteria

EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

  2. Patient has a history of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage within the past 12 months, or has had a recent (\<7 days) stroke of sufficient size (on CT or MRI) to place him or her at risk of hemorrhagic conversion during the procedure.
  3. Patient had hemorrhagic transformation of an ischemic stroke within the past 60 days.

  12. Presence of a previous placed intravascular stent in target vessel or ipsilateral CCA or significant CCA inflow lesion.
  13. Occlusion or [Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction Trial (TIMI 0)] "string sign" >1cm of the ipsilateral common or internal carotid artery.
  14. An intraluminal filling defect (defined as an endoluminal lucency surrounded by contrast, seen in multiple angiographic projections, in the absence of angiographic evidence of calcification) whether or not it is associated with an ulcerated target lesion.
  15. Ostium of Common Carotid Artery (CCA) requires revascularization.
  16. Patient has an open stoma in the neck.
  17. Female patients who are pregnant or may become pregnant.
  18. Patient has history of intolerance or allergic reaction to any of the study medications or stent materials (refer to stent IFU), including aspirin (ASA), ticlopidine, clopidogrel, statin or contrast media (that can't be pre medicated). Patients must be able to tolerate statins and a combination of ASA and ticlopidine or ASA and clopidogrel.
  19. Patient must have a life expectancy \<3 years without contingencies related to other medical, surgical, or interventional procedures as per the Wallaert Score and patients with primary, recurrent or metastatic malignancy who do not have independent assessment of life expectancy performed by the treating oncologist or an appropriate specialist other than the physician performing TCAR.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Procedural Success

    Procedural success is defined as acute device success (successful insertion of the ENROUTE NPS and establishment of flow reversal), technical success (deployment of interventional tools) and the absence of a major adverse events (hierarchical stroke/death/myocardial infarction) through 30 days.

    Time frame: 30 Days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants Experiencing Major Adverse Event

    Secondary endpoints include the 30-day rate of hierarchical stroke, death or myocardial infarction, the rate of hierarchical stroke, death or myocardial infarction by symptom status, the rate of cardiac death and the rate of neurological death.

    Time frame: 30 days

  2. Number of Participants With Acute Device Success

    Acute device success is defined as the ability to insert the device, establish flow reversal, and remove the device

    Time frame: 2 hours (periprocedural)

  3. Number of Participants With Technical Success

    Technical success is defined as acute device success plus the ability to deliver interventional tools

    Time frame: 2 hours (periprocedural)

  4. Number of Participants in Which a Cranial Nerve Injury Occurred

    Rate of cranial nerve injury suspected to be caused by surgical procedure and adjudicated by CEC.

    Time frame: 90 days (extended follow-up)
