Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) System for Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) - Medical / Health Care - Clinical Services

Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) is a minimally invasive procedure that accesses the aorta through a small incision in your groin. Thin wires are inserted through the femoral arteries and act as a guide for a long, thin tube called a catheter. A stent is delivered through the catheter to the site of the aneurysm and expands to reinforce the damaged portion of the aorta. The wire and catheter will be removed, the doctor will confirm that the stent is in the proper position, and the incision will be closed with a few stitches or sutures. The stent will remain in place permanently. The procedure takes 1-3 hours to complete and requires a hospital stay of a few days.
