What is TCAR?
TCAR is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to make a minor incision near the collarbone to place a stent in the artery.
The stent opens the blockage, allowing for better blood flow.
During the procedure, arterial blood flow is temporarily rerouted so that it circulates through a filter. The filter prevents any plaque or debris that breaks free during the procedure from flowing to the brain where it could cause a stroke.
