It was reported that subsequent to a transcarotid artery revascularization (tcar) procedure, the rep followed up with site and it was reported that the patient experienced sight loss due to a lack of blood flow coming from the external carotid artery (eca).The patient had a chronically occluded ophthalmic artery, which was occluded even further due to plaque shift into the eca caused by one of the two stents used in the procedure.At this is time, it is unknown which stent caused the plaque shift.It was noted that the patient's underlying condition may have been a contributing factor to the reported event.This report is being submitted out of an abundance of caution.
