The Vascular Institute of Chattanooga (VIC) offers a range of advanced treatments for carotid artery disease, tailored to the unique needs of each patient. Our team specializes in both minimally invasive techniques and traditional surgical options to ensure optimal outcomes.
- Lifestyle Modifications and Medications: For patients in the early stages of carotid artery disease, lifestyle changes and medications may be sufficient to manage risk factors and prevent disease progression.
- Transcarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR): TCAR is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces stroke risk by removing plaque and restoring blood flow. It is particularly effective for patients who are high-risk for traditional surgery.
- Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA): This surgical procedure involves removing plaque directly from the carotid artery. It remains a gold standard for treating significant blockages.
- Endovascular Repair (EVAR): For patients with complex vascular conditions, including overlapping issues like aneurysms, EVAR offers a minimally invasive solution using stents to repair and stabilize blood flow.
At VIC, our multidisciplinary team uses cutting-edge technology to ensure patient safety and effective treatment. Whether you’re experiencing symptoms of carotid artery blockage or seeking a second opinion, VIC is your trusted partner in vascular care.
