Endovascular Procedures
Aortic and Thoracic Stent Grafting
In an endovascular stent-grafting procedure, a small metal cylinder called a stent is implanted in the artery to provide a strong new vessel wall. During the procedure, a thin tube called a catheter is guided up the aorta to the site of the aneurysm. A balloon on the end of the catheter helps fit the stent into place. Then the catheter is removed. The aneurysm generally shrinks around the stent as time passes.

Atherectomy
Atherectomy refers to a group of angioplasty procedures that remove plaque from the artery walls, and is most effective for blockages that cannot be easily treated with stents. During the procedure, a catheter with a sharp blade is inserted into the affected vessel to scrape off plaque and collect it in the tip so that it can be safely and thoroughly removed from the body. This process can be repeated multiple times during the same treatment to remove a significant amount of plaque.

Carotid Stenting
Carotid stenting involves the implantation of a metal mesh tube (a "stent") to hold a clogged artery open so blood can flow through it unobstructed. The stent is put in place using a technique called balloon angioplasty. A small tube known as a catheter with a tiny balloon on the end is inserted into an artery in the groin, snaked up to the carotid artery, and gently expanded, pushing open the blockage and restoring blood flow. The stent is then put in place to ensure that the artery stays open.

Endovascular DVT Treatment
Deep vein thrombosis is a serious condition that occurs when a blood clot, also known as a thrombus, forms in a vein deep within the body. Treatment for deep vein thrombosis aims to keep the blood clot from getting bigger, breaking loose, and causing a pulmonary embolism, as well as reducing the risk of developing another blood clot. Endovascular treatment can remove diseased veins, causing them to collapse and seal shut to relieve pain and other complications.

Endovascular Laser Treatment of Varicose Veins
Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) is a minimally invasive procedure that treats varicose veins faster, safer and more effectively than other procedures, as it precisely targets the affected veins with a laser probe under ultrasound guidance. The laser energy delivered to the vein damages the vein walls and shrinks the vessel so that blood can no longer flow through and is diverted to healthy veins.

Mesenteric Artery Balloon Angioplasty and Stenting
Balloon angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure commonly used to treat blockages within the mesenteric arteries. During this procedure, a long, thin tube called a catheter is inserted into the blocked artery to help expand it and allow sufficient blood and oxygen to reach the heart.

Balloon angioplasty sometimes includes the insertion of a stent during the same procedure. A stent is a mesh-like device used to keep passages open and improve blood flow. The stent may be placed over the balloon and then left behind to maintain the expanded artery.

Peripheral Vascular*Balloon*Angioplasty and Stenting
Angioplasty involves inserting a deflated balloon into the affected area and then slowly inflating it to push plaque to the side and widen the artery. A mesh tube called a stent may also be placed in the artery to hold it open after the procedure and reduce the risk of re-narrowing. This procedure is most effective in treating larger arteries or those with short narrowed areas, although other types of arteries can also be successfully treated with angioplasty.
