Exciting milestone alert! 🎉 Bayhealth Sussex has just completed their 100th life-saving TCAR procedure, a game-changer in fighting stroke risk!

For those wondering: TCAR (Transcarotid Artery Revascularization) is a minimally invasive surgery that treats blocked carotid arteries by temporarily reversing blood flow to protect the brain, all through a tiny incision. It’s safer, quicker recovery, and proven to prevent strokes that could otherwise be devastating.
Huge shoutout to the incredible team making this possible and keeping our community healthier! ❤️

Curious if TCAR could help you or a loved one? Head to bayhealth.org for more info or book a consultation today. Let’s prioritize heart health!
