Silk Road Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: SILK) is revolutionizing the treatment of carotid artery disease through innovative medical devices and procedures. Located in Sunnyvale, California, and Plymouth, Minnesota, the company is dedicated to reducing the risk of stroke—a leading cause of disability and death worldwide. Silk Road Medical has developed the groundbreaking TransCarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR) procedure, a minimally invasive technique that combines surgical principles of neuroprotection with advanced endovascular methods to treat carotid artery blockages. With over 85,000 TCAR procedures performed in the United States by the end of 2023, the company is rapidly replacing traditional surgical methods and improving patient outcomes.

Silk Road Medical’s core products include the ENROUTE® Transcarotid Neuroprotection System and the ENROUTE® Transcarotid Stent System. These devices are designed to work seamlessly with the TCAR procedure, providing high-rate blood flow reversal to protect the brain during surgery. The company’s technology has been clinically proven to lower the risks of stroke, death, and cranial nerve injury compared to traditional methods like Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA).

The company is not just focused on innovation but also on market expansion. A key recent achievement is the exclusive distribution agreement with Genesis MedTech Group to bring TCAR products to China. This partnership aims to address the high incidence of carotid artery disease in China, significantly contributing to better patient care and outcomes.

Financially, Silk Road Medical has shown robust growth. For the third quarter of 2023, the company reported a revenue of $44.4 million, a 19% increase compared to the same period in the prior year. The company projects full-year 2024 revenues to range from $194 million to $198 million, marking a 10% to 12% growth over the previous year. Despite challenges like increased operation costs and a net loss of $14.1 million in the first quarter of 2024, the company remains optimistic about its future, driven by increased TCAR adoption and new product innovations such as the NPS PLUS.

CEO Chas McKhann, with over 25 years of leadership experience in the medical device industry, is steering the company towards further innovations and market penetration. Under his leadership, Silk Road Medical is not only maintaining but expanding its commitment to delivering brighter patient outcomes through continuous learning, observation, and improvement in vascular care.
