Endovascular Procedures

Endovascular procedures are image-guided treatments that manage various vascular conditions. They provide effective options to open surgery, reducing risk and allowing for quicker recovery.

What Are Endovascular Procedures?

These procedures involve accessing blood vessels using catheters and guidewires inserted through small incisions. Common types include:

• Angioplasty
• Stent placement
• Atherectomy
• Thrombectomy (clot removal)
• Aneurysm repair

What Conditions Do They Treat?

Endovascular treatments are used for:

• Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
• Aneurysms (e.g., abdominal aortic aneurysm)
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)‍
• Chronic venous insufficiency
• Arterial blockages and narrowing

Benefits of Endovascular Procedures

• Minimally invasive with less pain
• Shorter hospital stays and faster recovery
• Lower risk of infection or complications
• Highly effective in restoring circulation
• Can often be performed on an outpatient basis

How Are They Performed?

1. A catheter is inserted into a blood vessel (usually in the groin or wrist).
2. Guided by imaging, the doctor performs the necessary procedure.
3. Blood flow is restored, and the incision is closed.
