At Silk Road Medical, we not only talk about our culture, we obsess over it and have even given it a name.
Our Cartwheel Culture was named after our CEO cartwheeled onstage at a National Sales Meeting to talk about the importance of culture. Soon after that, we realized that there was a link between the practice of cartwheels and the key components to building a corporate culture that matters and a company we love.
Doing a cartwheel and being successful as a business both take Courage, Flexibility, Persistence, a Focus on Strengths, and Lending a Hand when needed.

TransCarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR) is a clinically proven procedure combining surgical principles of neuroprotection with minimally invasive endovascular techniques to treat blockages in the carotid artery at risk of causing a stroke. The ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent is intended to be used in patients at high risk and standard risk for adverse events from CEA, in conjunction with the ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection System (NPS). The ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS is a first in class device used to directly access the common carotid artery and initiate high rate temporary blood flow reversal to protect the brain from stroke while delivering and implanting the ENROUTE Transcarotid Stent.
Caution: Federal (US) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. Please refer to Instructions for Use for indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions.

Carotid Artery Disease and Stroke
Every year, 15 million people worldwide suffer a stroke. Nearly 6 million die and another 5 million are left permanently disabled. Stroke is the second leading cause of disability globally. Ischemic strokes account for 80-90 percent of strokes, and an estimated 20-30 percent of these are caused by disease in the carotid arteries that carry blood to the brain. If left untreated, these blockages can fragment, flow to the brain and lead to a potentially disabling stroke, also known as a “brain attack.”
