The ROADSTER 2 Clinical Study

This study evaluated usage of the ENROUTE® Transcarotid Stent System in conjunction with the ENROUTE® Transcarotid Neuroprotection System in high surgical risk patients with carotid artery stenosis. 692 patients were treated across 43 sites, with 81% of the physician enrollers being new TCAR operators.

“The stroke rate of 0.6% after TCAR in the Per Protocol population may be the lowest reported rate after any carotid intervention.”

Results of the ROADSTER 2 Study

The ROADSTER 2 study demonstrated that TCAR is a safe and effective procedure in a broad user base with varying TCAR experience levels. The per protocol results from the study also demonstrate that low stroke and death rates are possible with TCAR, particularly when treatment protocols and society guidelines are followed (patient/lesion selection, drug regimen, procedure technique).

*All CNI injuries resolved in patients that consented to an extended follow up period.

0.6% stroke rate in the FDA Analysis Population (PP)
81% of Physicians were new to TCAR
Excellent outcomes achievable with adherance to Protocol

TCAR continues to show a low stroke and death rate with lower rates of cranial nerve injury compared to CEA, which we believe will further instill physician confidence and adoption.”
