Overview
Endovascular / Endoluminal Diagnosis and Therapy focuses on the imaging-based diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of vascular diseases through procedures performed inside blood vessels or internal structures (endoluminal). Using image-guided techniques, it treats arterial, venous, or lymphatic conditions without the need for open surgery.
Common Conditions Treated
- Aneurysms (aortic, cerebral, peripheral)
- Arterial stenosis or occlusion (carotid, femoral, renal)
- Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Vascular malformations
- Pulmonary embolism
- Varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency
- Biliary or urinary tract strictures (non-vascular endoluminal procedures)
What to Expect During Your Visit
The consultation begins with a clinical evaluation and review of imaging studies (ultrasound, CT, angiography, etc.). The specialist determines whether the patient is a candidate for an endovascular procedure. The technique, risks, and benefits are explained, and the intervention is scheduled if appropriate.
