OBJECTIVE High-degree stenosis of both innominate (IA) or left common carotid artery (CCA) and carotid bifurcation is uncommon but still represents a significant challenge to interventionists in many aspects including techniques, timing, and priority. There are several strategies for intervention that have been reported in the literature. A well-described, less-invasive strategy for extracranial tandem carotid lesions is concomitant carotid endarterectomy (CEA) with retrograde carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS). In this study, we examine intermediate-term outcomes of this hybrid procedure and review other described treatments. METHODS Electronic medical records of all patients who underwent hybrid (ostial CAS and CEA) procedures in a tertiary center over the last 10 years were reviewed. High-degree stenosis of the IA or CCA was defined according to North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial criteria. RESULTS A total of 6 patients were identified. The population included 4 males and 2 females with a median age of 65 years. Five patients were symptomatic and all had stenosis >75% by angiography. Five of the patients underwent left CEA with proximal stenting and one patient underwent right-sided CEA with proximal stenting. Combined 30-day mortality and stroke rate was 0%. No restenosis, stroke, heart attack, or death occurred during a follow-up range of 1 to 36 months (mean 12.8 months, median 7.8 months). CONCLUSIONS The combined CEA with retrograde stenting for tandem extracranial lesion procedure is safe and feasible, with adequate intermediate-term outcomes consistent with the recent literature.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
