2. Endovascular aneurysm repair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endovascular_aneurysm_repair

   Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a type of minimally-invasive endovascular surgery used to treat pathology of the aorta, most commonly an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). When used to treat thoracic aortic disease, the procedure is then specifically termed TEVAR for "thoracic endovascular aortic/aneurysm repair."

3. Vascular surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_surgery

   Vascular surgery encompasses surgery of the aorta, carotid arteries, and lower extremities, including the iliac, femoral, vascular trauma and tibial arteries. Vascular surgery also involves surgery of veins, for conditions such as May–Thurner syndrome and for varicose veins .

4. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resuscitative_endovascular...

   Upon inflation of the occluding balloon, blood flow across the descending aorta is either partially or completely obstructed which subsequently stanches downstream bleeding. [1] [2] [3] The adjustable catheter design of the REBOA device allows for variable positioning of the occluding balloon within the aorta based on the suspected source of ...

5. Vascular bypass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_bypass

   In the legs, bypass grafting is used to treat peripheral vascular disease, acute limb ischemia, aneurysms and trauma.While there are many anatomical arrangements for vascular bypass grafts in the lower extremities depending on the location of the disease, the principle is the same: to restore blood flow to an area without normal flow.

6. Aortic valvuloplasty - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valvuloplasty

   Aortic valvuloplasty, also known as balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV), is a procedure used to improve blood flow through the aortic valve in conditions that cause aortic stenosis, or narrowing of the aortic valve. It can be performed in various patient populations including fetuses, newborns, children, adults, and pregnant women.

7. Endarterectomy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endarterectomy

   The concept was first introduced by Bailey [2] in the 1950s prior to the advent of coronary artery bypass surgery to help patients with angina and coronary artery disease. It is still used today when coronary artery bypass surgery proves difficult. Livesay [3] in Texas and Nair [4] in Leeds have published the largest series in the world.
