The Transcarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR) Procedure is a clinically proven, minimally invasive and safe approach to prevent stroke in high surgical risk patients that need carotid intervention. Watch this video for the details about how TCAR works.

The TCAR Procedure with the ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection and Stent System TCAR is a clinically proven procedure combining surgical principles of neuroprotection with minimally invasive endovascular techniques to treat blockages in the carotid artery at risk of causing a stroke. The ENROUTE® Transcarotid Neuroprotection and Stent System are the first and only products specifically designed and indicated for TCAR in high surgical risk patients that need carotid intervention. ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS is a first in class device used to directly access the common carotid artery and initiate high rate temporary blood flow reversal to protect the brain from stroke while delivering and implanting the ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent. Caution: Federal (US) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. Please refer to Instructions for Use for indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions.

Nearly 6 million die and another 5 million are left permanently disabled. Stroke is the second leading cause of disability globally. Ischemic strokes account for 80-90 percent of strokes, and an estimated 20-30 percent of these are caused by disease in the carotid arteries that carry blood to the brain. If left untreated, these blockages can fragment, flow to the brain and lead to a potentially disabling stroke, also known as a “brain attack.” For more information about carotid artery disease and the risks involved with any intervention (e.g. bleeding, death, myocardial infarction, restenosis, stroke, TIA, vessel dissection, vessel occlusion, etc.), please visit http://silkroadmed.com/disease-and-tr....
