Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a procedure to treat an aneurysm in the upper part of your aorta. The aorta is your body’s largest artery. An aneurysm is a weak, bulging area in the aorta wall. If it bursts (ruptures), it can be deadly. TEVAR is a minimally invasive surgery. That means it's done with a small cut (incision).
Jun 29, 2023 · Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a minimally invasive procedure that treats descending thoracic aortic aneurysms. An aneurysm is a weakened area of your artery wall that bulges outward and can lead to complications without treatment. TEVAR is generally safer than open surgery and offers a faster recovery in appropriate candidates.

Abstract. The development of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has allowed a minimally invasive approach for management of an array of thoracic aortic pathologies. Initially developed specifically for exclusion of thoracic aortic aneurysms, TEVAR is now used as an alternative to open surgery for a variety of disease pathologies due to ...

Aug 7, 2023 · Endovascular repair of the thoracic aorta, also referred to as thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), refers to a minimally invasive approach that involves placing a stent-graft in the thoracic or thoracoabdominal aorta for the treatment of a variety of thoracic aortic pathologies.
Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) is a minimally invasive procedure to repair the major blood vessel in the body, called the aorta. The aorta exits the heart and carries blood to all the organs and the rest of the body. After leaving the heart, the aorta branches to the arms and the brain before running down the back of the chest ...
