Vascular surgeon, Rasesh M. Shah, M.D., discusses the importance of the Carotid Endarterectomy procedure, which is used in patients with carotid artery stenosis to reduce the risk of stroke; highlighting its evolution to the hybrid invasive transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) procedure, which takes a minimally invasive approach to this treatment. He also mentions the multidisciplinary Carotid Stent Program at Sentara.
