It was reported that 7 hours after a right transcarotid artery revascularization (tcar) procedure, the patient had a thrombotic stroke and left arm and leg weakness with slight facial droop.Thrombus was found distal to the stent, which was treated with thrombectomy, but the patient still had left arm and leg weakness and slight facial droop.The physician also switched the patient's medication to brilinta at the onset of stroke symptoms; however there was no conclusive evidence provided that the patient was plavix resistant.At this time, there is no conclusive evidence if the patient was plavix resistant.As this event could be associated with the enroute transcarotid stent system (tss), it will be reported out of abundance of caution.
