Wellington, FL – April 07, 2025 – Wellington Regional Medical Center is thrilled to announce the successful completion of its 100th Transcarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR) procedure. This milestone highlights the hospital’s dedication to providing advanced, minimally invasive treatments for patients with carotid artery disease.
TCAR is a cutting-edge procedure designed to reduce the risk of stroke during carotid artery surgery. By utilizing a smaller incision and temporarily reversing blood flow, TCAR minimizes the risk of stroke-causing fragments reaching the brain. This innovative approach allows for quicker recovery times and improved patient outcomes.
Pam Tahan, Chief Executive Officer of Wellington Regional Medical Center, expressed her pride in this achievement:
“Reaching our 100th TCAR procedure is a significant milestone for our team and our community. This accomplishment reflects our commitment to adopting the latest medical technologies to enhance patient care. We are proud to offer TCAR as a safer, less invasive option for our patients, helping them return to their daily lives more quickly and with better outcomes.”
Wellington Regional Medical Center continues to lead the way in advanced surgical care, ensuring that patients have access to the most effective and innovative treatments available. This milestone is a testament to the hospital’s ongoing efforts to improve patient health and well-being through state-of-the-art medical procedures.
