Endovascular Aneurysm Repair Devices: Advancing Minimally Invasive Treatment
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) devices have revolutionized the treatment of aortic aneurysms, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. These devices are designed to reinforce weakened sections of the aorta, preventing potentially life-threatening ruptures. With advances in technology and surgical techniques, EVAR has become a preferred option for many patients due to its reduced recovery time and lower procedural risk.
The primary purpose of EVAR devices is to provide structural support to the aneurysmal segment of the aorta. They consist of a stent-graft, a fabric tube supported by a metal framework, which is inserted into the affected artery through small incisions in the groin. Once in place, the device diverts blood flow away from the weakened artery wall, significantly reducing the risk of rupture. The minimally invasive nature of the procedure minimizes trauma to surrounding tissues, allowing patients to recover…
