The carotid arteries are the main arteries in the neck that supply blood to your brain.

As you age, plaque accumulates inside the carotid arteries causing the arteries to narrow, a vascular condition known as carotid artery disease.

The more plaque that builds up in the carotid arteries, the higher your chance of developing small blood clots that can break off and travel to the brain, causing a stroke that can be fatal.

Early diagnosis and treatment of carotid artery disease can help prevent stroke, saving lives.

At The Vein And Vascular Institute, our board certified vascular surgeons use the most advanced ultrasound technology to discover carotid artery disease and the most advanced endovascular surgery methods available anywhere in the world such as TCAR (TransCarotid Artery Revascularization) to treat it, helping to prevent stroke.

TCAR is a less invasive, clinically proven option for carotid artery disease treatment, and it is unique in that blood flow is temporarily reversed during the procedure so that any small bits of plaque that may break off are diverted away from the brain, helping to further prevent stroke.
