Participant Flow

Patients were considered enrolled after signing the informed consent and having undergone a successful Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) procedure (e.g., the procedure was not aborted due to technical issues or due to local complications that precluded stent implantation). Patients who were screened but did not meet all study criteria were considered screen failures and were not enrolled.
