Table 5. Cost breakdown per patient.

Data are represented as mean ± standard deviation. Values in parentheses represent ranges. Monetary values are given in 1,000 U.S. dollars.

*The large differences in this cost are largely explained by computed tomography (CT) scans. In total, 20 TF-CAS patients and one CEA patient underwent a CT.

TCAR, transcarotid arterial revascularization; TF-CAS, transfemoral carotid artery stenting; CEA, carotid endarterectomy; ICU, intensive care unit
