Combined Proximal Common Carotid and Bifurcation Disease
§ Options
- Hybrid Procedure: CEA with
intraoperative retrograde stent
- All endo: Proximal CCA stent and
bifurcation stent
- All open: Inflow bypass and CEA
- <2% of cases
xxx xxx Needle puncture at inferior aspect of arteriotomy Wire directed into descending aorta xxx Make sure the patient is well anticoagulated. Size the CCA and evaluate the arch with CTA. Beware long lesions-consider inflow bypass instead.

Do the inflow first. Flush it well. Shunt as indicated.

Increased Risk with Additional Stents During CAS
§ Risk factor for poor outcomes with CAS § Excluded from all carotid stent trials § Need to use a second stent
- NSQIP-6.4% MAE when single stent placed, 19.2% when
multiple stents placed (OR 7.7, strongest predictor)
§ Lesion length, Sequential lesions
- CREST-Increased risk for CAS (lesion >13mm OR=3.4,
sequential lesions OR=3.6)
§ Lesion that extends beyond that which can be treated with a
single stent is typically contraindicated by IFU
Caution Against Treating Diffuse Lesions

Angioplasty CCA lesion on the way in and stent on the way out
Tandem Lesion Options
§ Hybrid: Re-do endarterectomy and retrograde
CCA stent
§ All open: options limited. Inflow? § All endo: Stent CCA with balloon expandable
stent, proceed with bifurcation stent
- Minimize occlusion time
- No protection during CCA stent
Sheath Filter Carotid-subclavian bypass
Balloon-expandable stent Angioplasty CCA lesion on the way in and stent on the way out Take out the protection device before backing up sheath
Both proximal common carotid & bifurcation disease
Conclusion
§ Small percentage of cases, but challenging when they present. § Several options for treatment. § Hybrid procedure: CEA plus proximal CCA stent appears to be
safe, but with important caveats.
- Beware diffuse disease.
- CTA for stent sizing and arch assessment.
- Place a catheter in the arch.
- Fix inflow first.
