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
- Applications:
-
Chemoembolisation: A treatment approach involving injecting chemotherapy directly into arteries supplying tumors.
