Sažetak
Liječenje aneurizme abdominalne aorte, definirane kao trajno proširenje arterije za 50 % njenog normalnog promjera može se provesti otvorenom operacijom ili se može provesti endovaskularni popravak aneurizme (EVAR) koji je prvi puta proveden prije tridesetak godina u SAD-u. EVAR uključuje postavljanje endoskopske proteze (stent-grafta) unutar aorte pod kontrolom dijaskopije, najčešće u angio sali, a provodi ga intervencijski tim kojeg čine intervencijski radiolozi, vaskularni kirurzi, medicinske sestre instrumentarke te radiološki tehnolozi. Prednost EVAR-a u odnosu na otvorenu operaciju jest brži oporavak pacijenta.

EndoVascular Aneurysm Repair – EVAR
Abstract
Treatment of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, defined as permanent dilation of an aorta by 50% of its normal diameter, can be performed by open surgery or endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), which was first performed thirty years ago in the US. EVAR involves the placement of a stent-graft within the aorta with fluoroscopy guidance, most commonly in an angio suite and is performed by an interventional team consisting of interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons, nurses and radiology technologists. The advantage of EVAR over open surgery is faster patient recovery.
