Intravascular lithotripsy prior to transcarotid arterial revascularization: A technical tale of two cases.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
calcific carotid stenosis is becoming more common as the advanced-age population grows, requiring new therapeutic approaches. As such, transcarotid arterial revascularization is gaining significant popularity in the management of carotid stenosis due to low rates of perioperative complications and optimal clinical outcomes. In addition, intravascular lithotripsy has shown promise in safely facilitating the success of endovascular procedures in the context of calcified lesions. The combination of neuroprotective technology offered by transcarotid arterial revascularization and circumferential plaque remodeling by intravascular lithotripsy has been utilized for complex lesions. We present two cases of symptomatic calcific carotid stenosis treated with intravascular lithotripsy before transcarotid arterial revascularization. A 4 × 40 mm lithotripsy balloon delivered shockwaves at two and four atmospheres over a 0.014 wire. Transcarotid arterial revascularization was successfully completed without complications, and luminal patency was observed in both patients. Calcific carotid stenosis was effectively treated with intravascular lithotripsy before transcarotid arterial revascularization, resulting in optimal safety and clinical recovery. Thus, when combined with novel shockwave technology, the neuroprotective effect of flow reversal in transcarotid arterial revascularization procedures demonstrates promise in maintaining safety while providing a novel treatment technique for high-risk patients with calcific cervical internal carotid artery stenosis.
