About

    Endovascular repair is a minimally invasive technique used to treat a variety of vascular conditions, such as aneurysms, stenosis, and dissections. Rather than open surgery, endovascular repair involves inserting a catheter through a small incision in the groin or another access point and guiding it through the blood vessels to the site of the problem. Then, using real-time imaging, the physician can deploy stents, balloons, or other devices to repair the damaged or weakened blood vessel. Endovascular repair has several advantages over traditional open surgery, including shorter recovery times, reduced risk of complications, and less pain and scarring for the patient. It is a rapidly evolving field with ongoing research focused on improving techniques, devices, and outcomes for patients undergoing endovascular repair procedures.
