Carotid Artery Care

The carotid arteries, located on each side of the neck, are responsible for carrying blood from the heart to the brain. Narrowing or blockage in these arteries, often caused by plaque buildup (atherosclerosis), can increase the risk of stroke.

At University Spine Center, our vascular specialists provide advanced carotid artery procedures to:

• Restore healthy blood flow to the brain
• Reduce the risk of stroke
• Improve long-term vascular health

Treatment options may include:

• Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA): Surgical removal of plaque to open the artery
• Transcarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR): Minimally invasive stent placement with temporary blood flow reversal for high-risk patients
• Carotid Angiogram: Diagnostic imaging to identify narrowing or blockages
