Endovascular surgery involves accessing damaged blood vessels by inserting a catheter through a small puncture, rather than a large incision. This approach offers the potential for less pain, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery.
Endovascular surgery refers to minimally invasive procedures performed inside blood vessels using specialized instruments and imaging guidance. This approach allows vascular surgeons to treat a wide range of conditions through small incisions, typically in the groin or wrist, rather than large surgical openings.
Using techniques such as catheterization, angioplasty, and stenting, endovascular surgeons can repair aneurysms, clear blocked arteries, and treat other vascular disorders with precision and minimal tissue disruption.
Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) uses stent grafts to reinforce weakened blood vessel walls and prevent rupture.
Opening narrowed or blocked arteries using balloon catheters and placing mesh stents to keep them open.
Removing blood clots from arteries or veins to restore blood flow and prevent tissue damage.
Small devices or particles block blood flow in abnormal vessels or tumors.

Transparent pricing tailored to your medical needs. Final costs may vary depending on procedure type and hospital facilities.
Most endovascular procedures take between 1-3 hours, depending on the complexity of the condition being treated. Simple procedures like angioplasty may take as little as 30-60 minutes, while complex aneurysm repairs can take 2-4 hours.
Many patients require blood-thinning medications (antiplatelets or anticoagulants) after endovascular procedures, particularly if stents were placed. The specific medication and duration depend on the procedure performed and your individual medical condition. Your vascular surgeon will provide detailed instructions.
Most patients can resume light activities within a few days and return to work within 1-2 weeks. Strenuous activities and heavy lifting may need to be avoided for 4-6 weeks. Your surgeon will provide specific guidelines based on your procedure and overall health.
Most endovascular procedures are covered by insurance when medically necessary. Coverage varies by insurance plan and specific procedure. Our team will work with your insurance provider to verify coverage and obtain necessary pre-authorizations before your procedure.
Endovascular repairs are designed to be durable long-term solutions. Stents and stent grafts typically last many years, with studies showing good results beyond 10-15 years for many devices. Regular follow-up imaging is important to monitor the repair over time.
