EVAR

EVAR (Endovascular Aneurysm Repair) is a minimally invasive procedure used to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) — a dangerous ballooning or weakening of the body's main artery, the aorta.

Instead of making a large abdominal incision like traditional open surgery, EVAR is performed from inside the blood vessel using catheters, guidewires, and a fabric-covered metal stent graft delivered through arteries in the groin.
