Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR)

At Genesiss Multi-Speciality Hospital, our Vascular Surgery team offers Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR), a minimally invasive procedure to treat aortic aneurysms. EVAR involves placing a stent-graft inside the weakened section of the aorta through small incisions, restoring normal blood flow and reducing the risk of rupture. This advanced technique allows faster recovery and less post-operative discomfort compared to open surgery.


Problems / Concerns Addressed:

  • Aortic Aneurysm: Weakening and ballooning of the aorta wall
  • Risk of Rupture: Life-threatening bleeding if untreated
  • Pain or Discomfort: Chest, back, or abdominal pain caused by aneurysm
  • High Surgical Risk Patients: Those unsuitable for open surgery due to age or medical conditions
  • Family History or Genetic Predisposition: Increased risk for aneurysm formation

Treatments / Procedures Offered:

  • Endovascular Stent-Grafting: Placement of a stent inside the aorta to reinforce the vessel wall
  • Pre-Operative Imaging: CT angiography for accurate planning and sizing of the stent
  • Minimally Invasive Approach: Small incisions in the groin for catheter-based delivery
  • Post-Operative Monitoring: Imaging follow-ups to ensure proper stent placement and aneurysm exclusion
  • Lifestyle and Medication Management: Blood pressure control, healthy diet, and exercise guidance
