Endovascular Treatment
**Endovascular Treatment**
**Description:**
Endovascular treatment is a minimally invasive medical procedure that uses image-guided technology to treat a variety of vascular conditions, such as aneurysms, blockages, and tears. It involves accessing the affected blood vessels through a small incision, usually in the femoral artery or radial artery.
**Keywords:**
* Endovascular intervention
* Vascular disease
* Aneurysm repair
* Arterial stent placement
* Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) treatment
**Benefits:**
* Less invasive than open surgery
* Reduced recovery time and complications
* Preserves arterial integrity
* Suitable for patients at high risk for major surgery
**Applications:**
* Aortic aneurysms
* Carotid artery stenosis
* Peripheral artery disease
* Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
* Vascular malformations
**Techniques:**
* Angioplasty: Widening narrowed arteries
* Stenting: Placing metal mesh tubes to support weakened arteries
* Coiling: Inserting metal coils to block blood flow in aneurysms
* Embolization: Blocking blood flow to malformed vessels
**Patient Considerations:**
* Pre-procedure evaluation and planning
* Anesthesia administration
* Intraoperative monitoring and care
* Post-procedure recovery and follow-up
This advanced medical technique offers numerous advantages for treating vascular disorders with precision and minimal invasiveness, transforming the landscape of cardiovascular care.

Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) Surgery: Comprehensive Overview
Three kinds of surgery are capable of treating an arteriovenous malformation, a tangle of blood vessels that impedes blood flow. An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare, noncancerous entanglement of blood vessels that prevents blood from flowing between your arteries…
