Dion Franga, MD, a general surgeon at the center, said the state sits in “the stroke belt,” and that his center complements the efforts of Orangeburg-based Regional Medical Center.

The TCAR procedure is a combination of open surgery and stenting. It treats carotid artery disease and helps prevent future strokes.
