200 TCAR

We are thrilled to announce a momentous milestone in our journey of advancing cardiovascular care. Our vascular team, including Naveed Saqib, MD, associate professor of vascular surgery, Gordon Martin, MD, associate professor of vascular surgery, and Daniel Miles, MD, assistant professor of vascular surgery, have successfully completed the southeast location’s 200th Transcarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR) procedure.

TCAR is a minimally invasive procedure that combines elements of traditional carotid endarterectomy and stenting, offering a safer and more efficient approach to treat carotid artery disease. This breakthrough technique allows for precise and controlled intervention, reducing the risk of complications and promoting faster recovery for our patients.

The completion of our 200th TCAR procedure is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our exceptional team of surgeons, nurses, and support staff. Their relentless pursuit of excellence has not only advanced the field of cardiovascular medicine but also improved the lives of countless patients who have entrusted us with their care.
