- The surgeon places a tube directly into the carotid artery and connects it to the NPS that directs blood flow away from the brain, to protect against plaque that may come loose reaching the brain. The TCAR procedure offers patients a safer method of carotid stenting through a small incision at the base of the neck and direct carotid artery access along with neuro-protective flow reversal during delivery of the stent. The patient's blood flows through the NPS and any material is captured in a filter outside the body.

The TCAR Procedure: Transcarotid Artery Revascularization The novel NPS device allows the surgeon to directly access the common carotid artery in the neck and initiate high-rate temporary blood flow reversal to protect the brain from stroke while delivering and implanting the stent. The TCAR procedure is performed through a small incision at the neckline just above the clavicle.

Carotid endarterectomy The SAPPHIRE study of patients at high surgical risk for carotid surgery demonstrated non-inferiority for carotid stenting compared to carotid surgery. The CREST trial, the largest trial comparing carotid surgery to carotid stenting in over 2,500 patients found that carotid artery stenting resulted in a stroke rate of 6.4% versus 4.7% for endarterectomy at 4 years.

- What is angioplasty? Angioplasty is a procedure to widen or open a blocked or narrowed artery. It restores normal blood flow through diseased arteries. Angioplasty is used on renal (kidney) arteries, carotid (neck) arteries, cerebral (brain) arteries, and coronary (heart) arteries. It treats coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, and carotid artery disease.

Coronary artery bypass surgery Coronary artery bypass surgery, also known as coronary artery bypass graft (CABG, pronounced cabbage) surgery, and colloquially heart bypass or bypass surgery, is a surgical procedure to restore normal blood flow to an obstructed coronary artery. There are two main approaches.

Carotid Angioplasty & Stenting This content requires Flash Player. This short animation shows how a carotid angioplasty and stenting procedure can open blocked arteries in the neck and restore blood flow to the brain, potentially preventing a stroke. You may have heard of balloon angioplasty and stenting as a treatment for heart disease.

THD Surgery Transanal hemorrhoidal dearterialization (or THD) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids. It is the procedure of choice in the event that conservative treatment has failed and a patient is still experiencing symptoms from their internal hemorrhoids.inimally Invasive THD Procedure. THD uses a Doppler ultrasound to locate the terminating branches of the hemorrhoidal arteries 2–3 cm above the dentate line. Once the artery is located, the surgeon uses an absorbable suture to ligate or “tie-off” the arterial blood flow.

- Reason for the Procedure. 1  Increases blood flow through the blocked artery by removing plaque buildup. 2  May also be used in carotid arteries (major arteries of the neck leading to the brain) to remove plaque and reduce risk for stroke.

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery What is coronary bypass graft surgery? Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is a procedure used to treat coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the narrowing of the coronary arteries – the blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle.

Clearing clogged arteries in the neck In that territory, carotid angioplasty plus stenting (CAS) for many people may be the equal of endarterectomy, an operation to clean out a clogged carotid artery. An often-silent disease The right and left carotid arteries branch off the aorta soon after it emerges from the heart and run up to the brain along either side of the neck. These vitally important arteries are prone to atherosclerosis, the damaging process that clogs arteries in the heart, kidneys, legs, and elsewhere.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery CABG surgery is a type of open heart surgery performed by Cardiothoracic surgeons. A healthy blood vessel from different part of body like leg, forearm, chest or wrist is used and attached to the coronary artery to create an alternate channel for smooth blood flow. It enables oxygenated blood to reach the heart muscle.

Bypass Surgery: Common Questions Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is an alternative to angioplasty for many patients with severe coronary artery disease, but it is a very invasive open-heart surgical procedure. Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery (MIDCAB), also called “keyhole heart surgery,” may be an option for some patients.

Carotid Artery Stenting Carotid Artery Stenting. Treatment Overview. Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is a procedure that can be used to open a narrowed carotid artery. It involves placing a small, expandable tube called a stent in the narrowed artery. This procedure is also called carotid angioplasty and stenting. There are two carotid arteries-one on each side of the neck-that supply blood to the brain. These arteries can be narrowed and damaged by fatty deposits called plaque.

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (also called coronary artery bypass surgery, CABG, and bypass operation) is performed to restore blood flow to the heart. This relieves chest pain and ischemia, improves the patient's quality of life, and in some cases, prolongs the patient's life.

Carotid Endarterectomy For the procedure, a surgeon will make a cut in your neck to reach the narrowed or blocked carotid artery. Next, he or she will make a cut in the blocked part of the artery and remove the artery’s inner lining that is blocking the blood flow. Finally, your surgeon will close the artery with stitches and stop any bleeding. He or she will then close the cut in your neck.

- Carotid endarterectomy has proved to be beneficial in the prevention of stroke in selected patients. The procedure is indicated in symptomatic patients with carotid-territory transient ischemic attacks or minor strokes who have carotid artery stenosis of 70 to 99 percent. With a low surgical risk, carotid endarterectomy provides modest benefit in symptomatic patients with carotid artery stenosis of 50 to 69 percent.

Yale New Haven Hospital (YNHH) was the first hospital in Connecticut to perform a new, less-invasive procedure to help clear plaque-ridden carotid arteries. The procedure, performed by physicians from the Yale School of Medicine as part of a clinical trial, took place on May 31 at YNHH.

- Find out the amount of blood flow to a transplanted kidney or liver. Monitor the flow of blood after blood vessel surgery. Find the presence, amount, and location of arterial plaque. Plaque in the carotid arteries can reduce blood flow to the brain. This may increase the risk of stroke.
