Endovascular Surgery
Endovascular surgery is a type of minimally invasive vascular surgery, meaning it requires small incisions and has minimal disruption of the tissue surrounding the affected area. During endovascular surgery, a catheter is inserted into the blood vessels through an incision in the groin. This catheter is then used to access and repair the diseased area(s) via the vascular system. Endovascular surgery is considered a safer alternative to traditional open surgery as it does not require large incisions and has fewer risks for complications. In addition, the recovery period is generally shorter and the overall outcome is often more successful. Endovascular surgery can be used to treat a variety of medical conditions, such as aneurysms, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease. It is also used to treat blockages in the arteries which can lead to major complications, such as heart attack or stroke.
