ENROUTE® Transcarotid Neuroprotection System

The ENROUTE® Transcarotid Neuroprotection System by Silk Road Medical allows for the reversal of blood flow away from the brain to ensure complete neuroprotection during carotid intervention. This system is intended for transcarotid vascular access, introduction of diagnostic agents and therapeutic devices, and embolic protection during carotid artery angioplasty and stenting procedures.

Clinical Results and Evidence

Silk Road Medical places a strong focus on clinical results and evidence, with multiple studies supporting the efficacy of their TCAR procedure. The robust clinical data demonstrate the procedure's effectiveness in providing stroke protection, evidenced by the lowest reported procedural stroke rate of any carotid intervention.
