Thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) is a minimally invasive alternative to major open surgery for the repair of the thoracic aorta that results in reduced recovery times and potentially improved survival rates.
Overview. How is an ascending aortic aneurysm repaired? An ascending aortic aneurysm is repaired through traditional open surgery. Your surgeon removes the weakened part of your ascending aorta and replaces it with a graft (synthetic fabric tube). This graft functions as a new lining for your artery so blood can pass through.
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a minimally invasive procedure. Your surgeon reaches your aorta by placing a small, hollow tube (catheter) through a blood vessel in your groin. They use the catheter to place a small mesh device (stent) that repairs the diseased portion of the aorta and restores proper blood flow. Advertisement.
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 ...
In the Society for Vascular Surgery clinical practical guidelines on Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) for thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs), the authors have provided multiple useful and important recommendations derived from contemporary best evidence.
Call (585) 275-4775. What is TEVAR? Short for Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair, TEVAR is often used to fix an aneurysm in the part of the aorta that is in your chest, also known as the thoracic area. The aorta is your body’s largest artery.
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 the lower morbidity of this approach. Advances in endograft technology continue to broaden the applications of this technique.
