Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) is a groundbreaking procedure aimed at addressing the enlargement of your aorta, the essential artery responsible for distributing blood throughout your body. Imagine your aorta, starting in the chest and winding through your abdomen, dividing into arteries that supply vital organs, your pelvis, and eventually branching into the intricate network of arteries in your legs.
When your aorta enlarges abnormally, creating what’s known as an aneurysm, there’s a risk it may rupture. In the past, traditional open surgeries were the norm, but they came with significant challenges, including longer recovery times, heightened risks, and a considerable impact on your overall well-being.
Enter EVAR – a modern approach that introduces specially designed stent grafts. Picture these grafts as folded umbrellas, ready to be guided through your femoral artery in the leg. Once strategically positioned in your aorta, these grafts elegantly unfold, like opening an umbrella, effectively sealing off the aneurysm.
What sets EVAR apart is its patient-centric nature. Unlike older methods, EVAR often eliminates the need for general anesthesia. Instead, the procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, minimizing the need for blood transfusions and ventilator support. This patient-friendly approach not only enhances your overall experience but also marks a significant leap forward in the safety and effectiveness of aortic aneurysm repair.
With EVAR, we aim to provide you with a streamlined and less invasive experience, ensuring optimal outcomes and a quicker return to your daily life. It’s a testament to how advancements in medical technology are transforming the way we care for your cardiovascular health.
