Endovascular repair is a type of treatment for an abdominal aortic aneurysm, or AAA. This is a bulge in the wall of the large artery below your heart that is at risk for rupture. During the procedure, the weak section of the aorta is treated to prevent it from tearing.

An endovascular aneurysm repair procedure can save your life. Healthcare providers use tiny punctures to insert special devices called stent grafts. The grafts create a new lining for your artery, lowering the risk of a rupture.

An aortic stent, also called an aortic stent graft, is a metal skeleton inside a fabric graft. A graft works by exerting pressure against the portions of the artery above and below the aneurysm to cut off circulation to the aneurysm.

2023年6月29日 · Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a minimally invasive procedure that treats descending thoracic aortic aneurysms. An aneurysm is a weakened area of your artery wall that bulges outward and can lead to complications without treatment.

2024年9月9日 · EVAR involves a surgeon inserting a stent into your aorta with a long, thin tube to prevent an aortic aneurysm from rupturing. It may also be used as an emergency surgery after a rupture occurs....

2014年10月23日 · Fenestrated and branched stent-grafts may provide a safe, effective technique for endovascular repair of aneurysms involving the visceral arteries. Studies indicate a high technical success and a low risk of complications.

In endovascular repair, the aneurysm isn't removed. Instead, a graft is inserted into the aorta to strengthen it. This type of surgery is done using catheters (tubes) inserted into the arteries; it doesn't require surgically opening the chest or abdomen.

Endovascular stent grafting, or endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), is a surgical procedure done inside of your aorta using a thin tube called a delivery catheter. Unlike open surgery, which involves a long cut in your abdomen, endovascular surgery requires only two small incisions in the area of your groin.

Traditional operative management of thoracic aortic aneurysms involves extensive surgery requiring a large incision in the chest to place a synthetic graft to repair the diseased artery. This method can result in long hospital stays and painful recoveries.

Endovascular repair is a type of treatment for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). An AAA is a bulge in the wall of the large artery below your heart. The large artery is called the aorta. The bulge is caused by a weak section in the artery wall. The bulge is at risk of tearing.
