What is vascular surgery?
It manages diseases in the vascular system, arteries or veins where medical therapy is applied. Vascular surgery is an evolution from general surgery and cardiac surgery. One key point is the minimally invasive techniques applied.
What is endovascular surgery?
It is a surgical procedure designed to access regions of the body through major blood vessels. Particularly, the femoral artery. The procedure can be performed by a vascular surgeon, radiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons.
