Endovascular surgery is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat various vascular conditions. It involves accessing blood vessels through small incisions, typically in the groin or arm, allowing surgeons to repair or remove blockages without the need for large open surgeries. This technique is often used for conditions like aneurysms, arterial blockages, and varicose veins.
During endovascular surgery, doctors use advanced imaging technology, such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy, to guide instruments precisely within the blood vessels. This approach generally results in less pain, shorter recovery times, and reduced risk of complications compared to traditional surgical methods.
