Carotid Disease

Mitigating the risk of stroke through advanced diagnostic imaging and the latest breakthrough surgical technology like TCAR.

The Silent Danger of
Arterial Plaque

Carotid artery disease occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries that supply blood to the brain, increasing the risk of stroke.

Many patients have no symptoms until a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke occurs, making early detection critical. Our team focuses on identifying blockages through non-invasive evaluation before they become symptomatic.

Early Detection: A simple vascular ultrasound can identify high-risk blockages and save your life.

TIA Warning Signs

Do not ignore these temporary indicators

TIA (Mini-Stroke)

Temporary episodes of stroke-like symptoms that resolve within 24 hours.

Sudden Weakness

Numbness or loss of control in the face, arm, or leg, typically on one side.

Speech Difficulty

Sudden confusion, trouble speaking, or difficulty understanding others.

Vision Changes

Blurred vision or sudden loss of sight in one or both eyes.

Advanced Stroke
Prevention

We utilize advanced imaging to assess the severity of disease and offer both medical management and specialized procedural options.

Medical Management

Evidence-based medication optimization to stabilize plaque and lower overall stroke risk.

"TCAR represents a monumental shift in how we treat carotid disease. It allows us to protect the brain by reversing blood flow during the procedure, making stenting safer than ever before."
