New Carotid Procedure Available at Valley Hospital
Monday, November 16, 2020
Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) is now available at Valley Hospital. This minimally invasive procedure utilizes a novel “reversal of blood flow” approach to protect the brain during insertion of a stent to treat a narrowing in the carotid artery (carotid stenosis). This results in a decreased risk of perioperative and long-term stroke rates.
