Vascular surgeon Tim Fuller, MD, FACS and his team at Tift Regional Medical Center were the first in the country to implant the newest addition to the TCAR(r) Portfolio, the tapered ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent System.
The Tapered ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent was recently launched by Silk Road Medical, Inc. a company focused on reducing the risk of stroke and its devastating impact with the TCAR System(r). TCAR is a minimally invasive, surgical procedure designed to provide best-in-class stroke protection while minimizing adverse events.
"I am continually impressed with the amazing team we have at Southwell," said Fuller. "Our selection as the site for the first deployment of this evolution of the ENROUTE stent in the US further exemplifies our team's dedication to bringing cutting-edge care to our patients in South Georgia."
The ENROUTE stent allows vascular surgeons to customize treatment to each patient's unique anatomy.
"Dr. Fuller's utilization of the ENROUTE stent underscores our dedication to innovative patient care. His expertise and forward-thinking approach exemplify our commitment to pushing the boundaries of healthcare excellence," said Chris Dorman, President and CEO of Southwell.
Dr. Fuller, a West Point Electrical Engineering graduate, transitioned from an Army Ranger with two Bronze Stars from five combat deployments to a board-certified General and Vascular Surgeon. After completing his medical degree at Mercer University and residencies in General and Vascular Surgery, he is board-certified in both General and Vascular surgery and maintains his license as a Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI).
