Bassett’s surgical teams are also using the hybrid operating room space for transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR), a minimally invasive procedure that can clear blockages and open a narrowed carotid artery. “This is a huge advancement for patients in our region when time is of the essence,” said Dr. Cooper.
“For our patients, this rapid response facility can translate into improved outcomes close to home,” says Staci Thompson, MHA, FACMPE, interim President and CEO of Bassett Healthcare Network. “We are very excited to continue expanding Bassett’s outstanding Heart Care Institute and make this critical service available to our patients and communities – many of which are spread across very rural areas. During a cardiovascular emergency, every second counts.”
