Results for tag: "Endovascular Aneurysm Repair"

Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat aneurysms in the aorta, the largest artery in the body. It involves the insertion of a stent-graft, a tube-like device, into the aorta through a small incision in the groin. The stent-graft is then deployed to cover the aneurysm, preventing it from rupturing. EVAR is a key component of the cardiovascular devices market, which includes a range of products used to diagnose and treat cardiovascular diseases. EVAR is a relatively new procedure, having been introduced in the 1990s. It has become increasingly popular due to its minimally invasive nature, which reduces the risk of complications and recovery time. It is also a cost-effective alternative to open surgery, which requires a larger incision and a longer recovery period. EVAR is used to treat a variety of aneurysms, including abdominal aortic aneurysms, thoracic aortic aneurysms, and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. It is also used to treat aortic dissections, a condition in which the inner layers of the aorta tear. Companies in the Endovascular Aneurysm Repair market include Medtronic, Cook Medical, W.L.
