Vascular surgeons Roger Moccia and Irfan Imami recently completed their 250th transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) procedure, a minimally invasive treatment designed to repair blockages in the carotid artery and help reduce the risk of stroke.
The milestone comes shortly after the surgeons joined Orlando Health South Lake Hospital, expanding access to advanced vascular care for residents throughout Lake County.
TCAR is a specialized procedure that combines surgical principles with endovascular techniques to safely restore blood flow to the brain while minimizing the risk of complications. By offering this innovative treatment locally, Dr. Moccia and Dr. Imami are enhancing stroke prevention services and providing patients with high-level vascular expertise close to home.
Hospital officials note that the addition of the two experienced vascular surgeons strengthens the hospital’s commitment to delivering comprehensive, cutting-edge care to the South Lake community.
