Endovascular Repair is a less invasive option for the treatment of a diseased or damage blood vessels compared to open surgery. It involves the use of an endovascular graft that excludes (seals off) the disease thereby creating a new path for blood flow.
The technique uses real time X-Rays allowing the doctor to visualise the location of the device and disease to ensure proper device placement. The doctor will also use a variety of other temporarily placed devices (such as guidewires) to perform the treatment.
