Endovascular Procedure Techniques

Endovascular procedures are minimally invasive techniques used to diagnose and treat problems within blood vessels. Instead of making large incisions, doctors insert a thin tube called a catheter through a small puncture in the skin, usually in the groin or arm. Guided by imaging technology, the catheter is navigated to the affected area, allowing for treatments like balloon angioplasty, stent placement, or clot removal. This approach typically results in less pain, quicker recovery, and reduced risk of complications compared to traditional surgery, making it a preferred option for vascular conditions such as aneurysms or blockages.
