TCAR is a less-invasive method for reducing the risk of stroke and complications while treating carotid artery disease in one or both neck arteries. During the procedure, a small incision is made in the neck. A tube is inserted into the carotid artery and connected to equipment to direct blood flow away from the brain temporarily. The blood is filtered before returning to a vein in the groin. In addition to fewer risks during the TCAR procedure, a smaller incision is used to reduce scarring and procedure time is less than half compared to carotid endarterectomy. Most patients return home the day after the procedure

TCAR is a less-invasive method for reducing the risk of stroke and complications while treating carotid artery disease in one or both neck arteries.
Zanesville, Ohio (March 29, 2021) – Genesis HealthCare System’s Vascular Surgery team recently performed its 25th TransCarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR) procedure. TCAR is a less-invasive method for treating carotid artery disease, where plaque builds up in one or both neck arteries and can cause strokes. Genesis surgeons began performing the procedure in October 2020.
Dr. Michael Kunstmann Talks About the Transcarotid Artery Revascularization Procedure (TCAR)
“The TCAR procedure is a great example of the advanced care and treatment we provide at Genesis. During the procedure, we reverse blood flow away from the brain temporarily to filter out plaque particles to reduce the risk of stroke,” said Michael Kunstmann, D.O., fellowship-trained and board-certified vascular surgeon.
The TCAR procedure is performed by either Dr. Kunstmann or Lane Lee, D.O., fellowship-trained and board-certified vascular surgeons.
