Endovascular surgery is a minimally invasive approach in which the vascular surgeon accesses the vascular system through small incisions, typically in the groin or arm. The vascular surgeon then utilises catheter-based techniques to address the vascular issues and perform the necessary procedures within the blood vessels.
This differs from open surgical procedures that the vascular surgeon performs to directly access and treat the affected blood vessels. The choice between these two approaches often depends on the specific condition, the patient’s overall health, and the expertise of the vascular surgeon.
