EVAR — Endovascular Aneurysm Repair
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a minimally invasive approach to treating abdominal aortic aneurysms using an aortic stent graft delivered through the vessels. Suitability is determined by anatomical and clinical evaluation.
What is EVAR?
EVAR relines the diseased aortic segment from within using a stent graft — a nitinol frame with a fabric cover — to support blood flow and reduce pressure on the aneurysm sac, in appropriate patients and according to manufacturer instructions for use.
When is EVAR considered?
EVAR may be considered for abdominal aortic and aortoiliac aneurysms with suitable anatomy, such as an adequate proximal neck and access vessels. The choice between EVAR, open surgery and surveillance rests with the treating physician.
EVAR and open surgery
Compared with open repair, EVAR is minimally invasive and may offer a shorter recovery in suitable cases; it also requires ongoing imaging follow-up. Treatment selection depends on individual clinical evaluation.
How Korvia supports EVAR cases
Korvia supports physicians and hospitals with EVAR-capable aortic stent graft platforms — including Percutek Tycheseal — together with case planning, device sizing, procedural readiness, on-site clinical support and reliable product availability in Türkiye.
Frequently asked questions
What is EVAR?+
EVAR is the minimally invasive repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm using a stent graft delivered through the vessels. Suitability depends on anatomical evaluation and physician judgement.
What is the difference between EVAR and TEVAR?+
EVAR targets the abdominal aorta, while TEVAR targets the thoracic aorta. Device selection depends on the anatomical region and clinical context.
What is an endoleak?+
An endoleak is persistent blood flow into the aneurysm sac after stent graft placement. Depending on its type it may require surveillance or further intervention, as assessed by the physician.
