Endovascular surgery can be defined as the treatment of vascular disease from inside the blood vessel by inserting and deploying specially designed catheters and other devices via very small incisions. This less-invasive approach is not entirely new; it was first used with angioplasty in the 1970s. Technology has rapidly advanced; today there are numerous endovascular procedures available to patients, including:

• Iliac artery angioplasty/stent
• Renal artery angioplasty/stent
• Lytic or mechanical clot removal therapy
• Aortic stent grafts
