TCAR TransCarotid Artery Revascularization
Clinically Proven, Less Invasive Way to Protect Against Stroke
Click the play button to learn more
TCAR is a clinically proven procedure to treat patients with carotid artery disease who are at risk with the
traditional carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Unlike CEA, TCAR is minimally invasive. This FDA approved
neuroprotection system is delivered directly into the common carotid artery, temporarily reversing blood flow
in the carotid artery during stent placement. This helps to prevent dangerous bits of plaque from dislodging and
traveling to the brain where they could cause a stroke. TCAR is appropriate for patients who are at higher risks
of complications from CEA due to age, other medical conditions or anatomical issues.
