HCA’s vascular surgeons Kelechi Akuma, MD, and Rafael Bustamante, MD, completed the operation in less than 45 minutes. 

TCAR is a faster, less invasive procedure for treating carotid stenosis, and it often reduces a patient’s stroke risk. 

TCAR procedures can be performed under local or general anesthesia and require just a small incision. 

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
