Endovascular surgery is a procedure that is performed using minimally invasive catheter techniques on the arteries or veins. Procedures include aneurysm repair, grafts, stents, varicose vein repair, and more.
The Benefits of Endovascular
- Shorter recovery period
- Less pain
- Performed using local or regional anesthesia instead of general anesthesia
- Fewer complications
- Less bleeding
- Decrease to stay in the hospital
Endovascular Procedures Include
- Aorta (aneurysms or occlusion or dissection)
- Peripheral vascular disease
- Critical limb ischemia
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Pulmonary embolism
- Varicose veins
- Arteriosclerosis
- Arteriovenous fistula
- Carotid artery disease
- Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
- Popliteal artery aneurysm
- Renal aneurysms
- Renal artery stenosis
- Vascular Bypass
- Carotid angioplasty and stenting
