We are proud to support our partner, CardioVascular Health Clinic, as they make groundbreaking strides in patient care. Dr. Jim Melton recently became the first vascular surgeon in the U.S. to perform the TCAR procedure in an outpatient facility, offering patients like Johann Theron a second chance at life. This minimally invasive approach not only improves lives but also sets new standards for affordability and safety. We’re honored to work with innovators in cardiovascular care and invite you to learn more in the article below. #CardiovascularCare #TCAR #HealthcareInnovation #PatientFirst"
❝I’ve been given a second chance at life.❞ Johann Theron remembers even simple tasks became increasingly difficult. After a check-up at CardioVascular Health Clinic, he learned that one artery was 95% blocked and another 75%. Fortunately, Dr. Jim Melton stepped in with a solution—a minimally invasive procedure called Transcarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR), a procedure he performs often. However, this procedure was different. In doing so, Dr. Melton became the first vascular surgeon in the U.S. to perform TCAR in an outpatient facility, reducing costs and infection rates as well as restoring blood flow and improving Johann's quality of life. https://lnkd.in/ggVMYyQZ #cardiovascular #vascular #healthcare #oklahoma #tcar
