About

VASCU-GUARD vascular patches with the new packaging have been available at the Houston Methodist Hospital since January 2023. This study is a retrospective chart review, aiming to compare the performance of Baxter VASCU-GUARD vascular patches implemented during carotid endarterectomies (CEA) prior to January 2023 and after January 2023. This study is one of a kind, as no other comparative retrospective chart review on the performance of VASCU-GUARD vascular patches from the old and new packaging has been published yet.

The project will contribute to the scientific knowledge about long-term outcomes associated with the use of patch material during endarterectomies.
