    Study Notes

    Arterial Interventions

    • Aortic Stent Grafts: Used to treat aneurysms and dissections in the aorta.

      • TEVAR (Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair): Treats thoracic aortic aneurysms/dissections.
      • EVAR (Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Repair): Treats abdominal aortic aneurysms.
    • Peripheral Arterial Angioplasty and Stenting: A procedure to improve blood flow in peripheral arteries.

    • Abdominal and Pelvic Embolization: Uses embolization to block blood flow to specific areas.

      • Applications:
        • Treating abdominal trauma
        • Controlling gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding
        • Treating uterine fibroids (uterine artery embolization)
        • Managing pelvic trauma
    • Chemoembolisation: A treatment approach involving injecting chemotherapy directly into arteries supplying tumors.
