Patient approved for inclusion by a Patient Screening Committee.

Patient must have a life expectancy \> 1 year at the time of the index procedure, in the opinion of the investigator at the time of enrollment, with no planned major cardiac intervention or surgery within 30 days following the index procedure. Angiographic Inclusion Criteria:

Patient has a discrete lesion located in the internal carotid artery (ICA) with or without involvement of the carotid bifurcation.

Target lesion must meet all requirements for commercially available trans-carotid stent systems (refer to IFU for requirements) and investigator intends to treat the target lesion with a single stent.

Patient must meet one of the following criteria regarding neurological symptom status and degree of stenosis by duplex ultrasound in combination with CT or MR angiography:

Asymptomatic: ≥ 70% stenosis of the internal carotid artery without any neurological symptoms.

Patient has evidence of circumferential calcification of the stenotic lesion defined as ≥ 3 mm thickness of calcification as determined by Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA). MR angiography may be used in place of CTA for patients with a relative or absolute contraindication to CTA.

Tandem Stenoses \> 70%.

High cervical carotid artery stenosis.

Restenosis after carotid endarterectomy.

Bilateral carotid artery stenosis requiring treatment within 30 days after index treatment.

Prior neck irradiation

Radical neck dissection

Cervical spine immobility Clinical High Risk Inclusion Criteria:

Patient is ≥ 70 years of age.

Patient has congestive heart failure (CHF) - New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Class III or IV.

Patient has severe pulmonary disease (COPD) with either FEV \< 50% predicted or chronic oxygen therapy or resting PO2 of \< 60 mmHg (room air).

Patient has a history of angina Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) class 3 or 4 or unstable angina.

Patient has known severe left ventricular dysfunction LVEF \< 30%.

Patient had a myocardial infarction \> 72 hours and \< 6 weeks prior to procedure.

Planned coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or valve replacement surgery between 31 and 60 days after index procedure.

Patient has permanent contralateral cranial nerve injury/paralysis.

Patient has chronic renal insufficiency (serum creatinine ≥ 2.5 mg/dL). Note that patients on dialysis are excluded from study consideration per

Exclusion Criteria

ary criterion #16.

Planned abdominal aortic aneurysm repair or peripheral vascular surgery between 31 to 60 days after index procedure. General Exclusion Criteria:

Patient has alternative source of cerebral embolus, including but not limited to:

a history of chronic atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation, or paroxysmal atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation requiring chronic anticoagulation

knowledge of cardiac sources of emboli (e.g., left ventricular aneurysm, intracardiac filling defect, cardiomyopathy, aortic or mitral prosthetic heart valve, hemodynamically significant aortic stenosis, endocarditis, mitral stenosis, or left atrial myxoma)

recently (\< 60 days) replaced/repaired heart valve (either surgically or percutaneously).

Patient has a history of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage within the past 12 months, a hemorrhagic transformation of an ischemic stroke within the past 60 days or has had a recent stroke (\< 7 days) of sufficient size (on CT or MRI) to place the patient at risk of hemorrhagic conversion during the procedure.

Patient with a history of major stroke with substantial neurological deficit (NIHSS ≥ 5 or mRS ≥ 3) within 1 month of index procedure.

Patient has had a TIA, or amaurosis fugax within 48 hours prior to the procedure.

Female patients who are pregnant, nursing, or may become pregnant.

Patient is participating in another research study involving an investigational agent (pharmaceutical, biologic, or medical device) that has not reached its primary endpoint.

Patient has other medical, social, or psychological problems that, in the opinion of the investigator, would present difficulty in complying with protocol requirements.

Patient is on renal replacement therapy (i.e., dialysis). Angiographic Exclusion Criteria:

Presence of a previously placed intravascular stent in the target vessel or ipsilateral CCA.

A significant CCA inflow or distal/intracranial lesion.

Occlusion (TICI 0) or "string sign" \> 1 cm of the ipsilateral common or internal carotid artery.

An intraluminal filling defect consistent with thrombus.

CCA disease that would preclude the use of TCAR per IFU.

Presence of extensive or diffuse atherosclerotic disease involving the aortic arch or proximal common carotid artery that would preclude the safe introduction of the study device.

Patient has \< 5 cm of distance between the clavicle and bifurcation, as assessed by duplex ultrasound.

Cerebral aneurysm, symptomatic or \> 5 mm or AVM (arteriovenous malformation) of the cerebral vasculature.

Massive exophytic (mushroom-like) or irregular endoluminal calcification seen on CTA or fluoroscopy.
