Surgical endovascular procedures are minimally invasive techniques that combine surgical and endovascular (pertaining to blood vessels) approaches to treat various medical conditions. These procedures are typically performed using catheters, guidewires, and other endovascular devices to access and treat areas within the body that are difficult or impossible to reach through traditional open surgery. The primary goal of surgical endovascular techniques is to achieve the same outcomes as open surgery but with less trauma, shorter recovery times, and reduced complications.

One of the most common applications of surgical endovascular procedures is in the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD), where blockages in the legs' arteries are treated using angioplasty and stenting. These procedures can also be used to treat aneurysms, which are weakened areas in blood vessels that can rupture and cause life-threatening bleeding. In some cases, surgical endovascular techniques may be combined with open surgery to address complex conditions that require both approaches.

The success of surgical endovascular procedures depends on the skill and experience of the interventional radiologist or surgeon performing the procedure, as well as the patient's overall health and the specific condition being treated. Like any medical procedure, surgical endovascular techniques carry risks, including bleeding, infection, and complications related to the use of catheters and other devices. However, when performed by an experienced healthcare provider, these procedures can offer significant benefits to patients, including improved outcomes, reduced pain, and faster recovery times.
