Anatomical high-risk:
A. Contralateral carotid artery occlusion; B. Presence of tandem stenosis in the internal carotid artery with a stenosis degree \> 70%; C. Carotid artery stenosis above the C2 vertebral body; D. Restenosis after previous ipsilateral carotid endarterectomy; E. Bilateral carotid artery stenosis requiring treatment (treatment of the contralateral vessel should be carried out at least 30 days after the operation); F. "Difficult neck" suitable for the transcarotid approach as evaluated by the researcher, including but not limited to: history of previous neck radiotherapy, history of previous radical neck lymph node dissection, neck stoma or limited cervical spine mobility.
Comorbid high-risk:
G. The patient's age is ≥ 70 years old; H. The patient has coronary artery disease involving \> 2 vessels and has a history of angina pectoris of any severity; I. The patient has a history of angina pectoris, with Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) angina class 3 or 4, or unstable angina pectoris (defined as resting angina pectoris accompanied by electrocardiogram changes); J. The patient has congestive heart failure (CHF) - New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class 3 or 4; K. The patient is known to have severe left ventricular dysfunction with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 30%; L. The patient has experienced a myocardial infarction within 72 hours to 6 weeks before the operation; M. The patient has severe pulmonary disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD), with a forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) \< 50% (predicted value), or has been receiving long-term oxygen therapy, or has an arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) ≤ 60 mmHg (room air) at rest; N. The patient has permanent contralateral cranial nerve injury; O. The patient has chronic renal insufficiency (serum creatinine \> 2.5 mg/dL).
* The diameter of the common carotid artery on the target lesion side is \> 6 mm;
* The patient is able to understand the purpose of the trial, voluntarily participates in this study, signs the informed consent form, and is willing to complete the follow-up according to the requirements of the protocol.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Anatomical exclusion criteria:
There are extensive atherosclerotic plaques in the proximal part of the common carotid artery on the target lesion side, making the safe operation of the surgery difficult; There are lesions in the access area of the common carotid artery on the target lesion side and its proximal part towards the heart; The distance from the superior border of the clavicle on the target lesion side to the bifurcation of the common carotid artery is less than 5 cm; A stent or graft has been implanted in the carotid artery on the target lesion side; There are acute or subacute thrombosis, arteriovenous malformations at the target lesion or adjacent areas; Severe calcification or tortuosity at the target lesion site makes it difficult to deliver the instruments to the designated location; The target carotid artery is completely occluded;
* Known to have uncontrollable hypertension (systolic blood pressure continuously ≥ 180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure continuously ≥ 110 mmHg);
* Combined with symptomatic severe stenosis of other blood vessels (including intracranial and extracranial vessels);
* The patient has experienced an ischemic stroke within 3 months, and the stroke affects the evaluation of the endpoints;
* There has been spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage within 12 months;
* Carotid artery stenosis not caused by atherosclerosis (such as dissection, fibromuscular dysplasia, etc.);
* There are other heart diseases that may lead to embolism: such as left ventricular aneurysm, intracardiac filling defect, cardiomyopathy, artificial aortic valve or artificial mitral valve, calcific aortic stenosis, endocarditis, mitral stenosis, atrial septal defect, atrial septal aneurysm or left atrial myxoma, etc.;
* Severe dementia or other nervous system diseases that may interfere with the evaluation of neurological function;
* Advanced heart failure;
* Chronic atrial fibrillation; Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with an episode within 6 months or paroxysmal atrial fibrillation requiring long-term anticoagulant therapy;
* Myocardial infarction occurred within 72 hours before the operation;
* Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), endovascular stent surgery, cardiac valve surgery or vascular surgical procedures have been or will be performed within 30 days before and after the operation;
* There is an active bleeding tendency or severe coagulation dysfunction; There has been gastrointestinal bleeding within 30 days before the operation, which will affect antiplatelet therapy;
* Hemoglobin (Hgb) \< 8 gm/dL, platelet count \< 90×10\^9/L or a history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia;
* Patients with abnormal liver and kidney function before the operation \[Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) exceeding 5 times the upper limit of the normal value; Serum creatinine (Cr) \> 3.0mg/dL (265.2μmol/L) or end-stage renal disease receiving hemodialysis\];
* Patients known to be allergic to contrast agents, stent and delivery device materials (referring to nitinol, PTFE, nylon polymer materials); Patients known to have contraindications to anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs;
* Intracranial tumors or other malignant tumors;
* Life expectancy is less than 1 year;
* Women who plan to become pregnant, are pregnant or are breastfeeding;
* Patients who are participating in other clinical trials at the same time and have not withdrawn from the trials;
* Patients who are judged by the researcher as not suitable for participating in this clinical trial.
