Endovascular surgery is a minimally invasive method for treating diseases of the cardiovascular system. During the procedure, a special catheter is inserted through a small injection into the skin to perform all the necessary manipulations that do not require a surgical operation.
In open surgery, the doctor makes an incision in the tissues for the operation, this method is invasive.
“With my participation, such operations were launched in one institution – this is the City Clinical Hospital named after SS Yudin. For example, when the iliac arteries are damaged, when atherosclerotic plaque passes into the deep femoral artery, it is technologically impossible to place a stent there. The hybrid approach allows us to open access for an endovascular surgeon,” said Vinokurov.
According to the specialist, such operations are less traumatic for the patient.
“It’s a small incision, a quick surgery, less anesthesia and a short recovery time compared to open surgery,” said Vinokurov.
