POST-APPROVAL STUDY of TRANSCAROTID ARTERY REVASCULARIZATION in PATIENTS With SIGNIFICANT CAROTID ARTERY DISEASE. The ROADSTER 2 Study.
The ROADSTER 2 Study is intended to evaluate real world usage of the ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent when used with the ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection System by physicians of varying experience with the transcarotid technique.
⁃ Patient must meet one of the following criteria regarding neurological symptom status and degree of stenosis:
⁃ Symptomatic: Stenosis must be \>50% as determined by an angiogram and the patient has a history of stroke (minor or non-disabling; NIHSS ≤4 or mRS ≤2), TIA and/or amaurosis fugax within 180 days of the procedure procedure ipsilateral to the carotid artery to be stented.
⁃ OR Asymptomatic: Stenosis must be \>80% as determined by angiogram without any neurological symptoms within the prior 180 days.
⁃ Target vessel must meet all requirements for ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection System and ENROUTE Stent System (refer to IFU for requirements).
⁃ Patient has a discrete lesion located in the internal carotid artery (ICA) with or without involvement of the contiguous common carotid artery (CCA).
⁃ Patient is ≥18 years of age.
⁃ Patient understands the nature of the procedure and has provided a signed informed consent using a form that has been reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee of the respective clinical site prior to the procedure. This will be obtained prior to participation in the study.
⁃ Patient is willing to comply with the protocol requirements and return to the treatment center for all required clinical evaluations.
⁃ Patient must have a life expectancy ≥ 3 years at the time of the index procedure without contingencies related to other medical, surgical or endovascular intervention.
⁃ Patient meets at least one of the surgical high-risk criteria listed below.
