Repair Techniques (Endovascular and Open Surgical)

Repair techniques for blood vessel issues include endovascular and open surgical methods. Endovascular repair is minimally invasive: doctors insert a thin tube through a small cut, guiding devices to the problem area inside the blood vessel to repair or reinforce it, often using stents or grafts. Open surgical repair involves making a larger incision to access the affected vessel directly, allowing surgeons to remove or repair damaged sections. The choice depends on the condition's severity and location; endovascular offers quicker recovery, while open surgery may be necessary for complex repairs.
