The Vascular Surgery team offers multiple procedures to treat stroke. One such treatment option is a minimally invasive procedure called transcarotid artery revascularization (or TCAR). During this procedure, a vascular surgeon places a stent in the carotid artery in the patient’s neck. Other open techniques include a procedure known as carotid endarterectomy.
