Peripheral and aortic endovascular surgery
Treatment of arterial disease from within the vessels, using catheters, balloons and stent grafts, without a large surgical incision.
What is it?

When is it indicated?
When the body's great artery dilates, an internal prosthesis can be deployed through a simple puncture to protect it, without a large incision.
When the leg arteries become blocked and cause pain on walking, a balloon or stent restores the circulation.
The arteries that supply the kidneys or the intestine can be widened from the inside to restore good blood flow.
Certain narrowings of the neck arteries, which supply the brain, can be treated from within the vessel.
When a conventional operation would be too taxing, this gentle technique offers effective treatment with rapid recovery.
Preparation
Procedure
Positioning in the catheterisation laboratory and appropriate anaesthesia (local, regional or general)
Arterial puncture, most often at the groin crease
Navigation of the catheters under imaging guidance
Dilation, stent placement or deployment of the stent graft
Verification of the result by angiography
Closure of the puncture site and monitoring
Duration
1 to 3 hours depending on complexity
Aftercare & Recovery
The hospital stay is generally short, from 24 to 72 hours. Daily activities can be resumed quickly, and regular imaging follow-up is scheduled to check that the implanted device is working properly.
Risks and side effects
These risks remain rare. Your surgeon will inform you in detail before the procedure.
