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 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
