Results for tag: "Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair"

Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat aortic aneurysms and dissections. It involves the insertion of a stent-graft into the aorta through a small incision in the chest wall. The stent-graft is designed to reinforce the weakened aortic wall and prevent further aneurysm growth or rupture. TEVAR is a relatively new procedure, having been developed in the late 1990s, and is now widely used in the treatment of aortic aneurysms and dissections. TEVAR is a growing market within the surgical procedures industry, as it offers a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. It is associated with shorter hospital stays, fewer complications, and faster recovery times. TEVAR is also becoming increasingly popular due to its ability to treat a wide range of aortic pathologies. Some of the companies in the TEVAR market include Medtronic, Cook Medical, W.L. Gore & Associates, and Endologix. Show Less Read more
