Donna is a busy nurse manager who one relaxing day at home, experiences a kaleidoscopelike visual experience in one eye that sets off a journey through multiple carotid artery treatment options. She received a carotid endarterectomy, open surgery, on one side, and TCAR on the other and shares her incredible story in this video.

TransCarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR) is a clinically proven procedure combining surgical principles of neuroprotection with minimally invasive endovascular techniques to treat blockages in the carotid artery at risk of causing a stroke. The ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent is intended to be used in patients at high risk and standard risk for adverse events from CEA, in conjunction with the ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection System (NPS). The ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS is a first in class device used to directly access the common carotid artery and initiate high rate temporary blood flow reversal to protect the brain from stroke while delivering and implanting the ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent.

Caution: Federal (US) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. Please refer to Instructions for Use for indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions.

Carotid Artery Disease and Stroke
Every year, 15 million people worldwide suffer a stroke. Nearly 6 million die and another 5 million are left permanently disabled. Stroke is the second leading cause of disability globally. Ischemic strokes account for 8090 percent of strokes, and an estimated 2030 percent of these are caused by disease in the carotid arteries that carry blood to the brain. If left untreated, these blockages can fragment, flow to the brain and lead to a potentially disabling stroke, also known as a “brain attack.”
