TCAR Procedure
Transcarotid Artery Disease Treatment
The Surgical Clinic’s board certified vascular surgeons offer an advanced surgery for carotid artery disease called TCAR.
What is TCAR?
TCAR stands for transcarotid artery revascularization. This procedure is a minimally invasive option for carotid artery disease compared to traditional options like CEA (carotid endarterectomy). By taking a less invasive approach, we’re able to help mitigate risks associated with traditional surgery.
