Dakour-Aridi H, Faateh M, Kuo PL, et al. - Via this study, researchers sought to develop a score that may assist in predicting the risk of stroke/death after transfemoral carotid artery stenting (CAS) (TFCAS). They performed an analysis of the Vascular Quality Initiative CAS data set from 2010 to 2018 and identified 10,753 patients undergoing TFCAS during the study period with a combined 30-day stroke/death rate of 4.1%. Old age, nonwhite race, symptomatic status, diabetes, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, and contralateral occlusion in addition to perioperative dual antiplatelet therapy and statin use were identified as significant predictors of perioperative stroke or death among these patients. Using the coefficients of these predictors, the risk score calculator was developed that may assist in estimating the probability of 30-day stroke/death after TFCAS.
