Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR)

Minimally Invasive Treatment for Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms

What is TEVAR?

Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat aneurysms, dissections, or traumatic injuries of the thoracic aorta—the portion of the aorta that runs through the chest. Unlike traditional open surgery, TEVAR uses a catheter-based approach to place a stent-graft inside the aorta, reinforcing the weakened area and restoring normal blood flow.

TEVAR has become a preferred treatment option for many thoracic aortic conditions due to its lower risk, quicker recovery, and high success rate.

Conditions Treated with TEVAR

We perform TEVAR to treat a range of life-threatening thoracic aortic conditions:

• Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (TAA)
• Aortic Dissection (Type B)
• Traumatic Aortic Injury
• Penetrating Aortic Ulcers (PAU)
• Intramural Hematoma

How TEVAR Works

Using advanced imaging guidance, a vascular surgeon inserts a catheter through a small incision in the groin and guides a stent-graft to the diseased section of the thoracic aorta. Once in place, the graft expands to seal off the aneurysm or dissection, preventing rupture and restoring normal blood flow.

Benefits of TEVAR Over Open Surgery

• Minimally invasive — no large chest incisions
• Reduced operative risk
• Shorter hospital stay and faster recovery
• Less blood loss and fewer complications
• Suitable for high-risk or elderly patients

What to Expect

Before TEVAR:

• Comprehensive assessment with CT Angiography
• Evaluation of aortic anatomy and patient fitness
• Discussion of risks, benefits, and treatment options

During the Procedure:

• Performed in a hybrid operating room under imaging guidance
• Stent graft deployed via a small groin incision
• Minimally invasive with no chest opening required

After TEVAR:

• Short ICU monitoring followed by early mobilization
• Discharge within 2–4 days in most cases
• Regular follow-up with imaging to ensure graft stability

Is TEVAR Right for You?

TEVAR is especially beneficial for patients who:

• Have been diagnosed with a thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection
• Are unfit for open-heart surgery
• Have experienced chest trauma or are at risk of rupture
• Seek a quicker, less invasive recovery process

Take the First Step Toward Safer Aortic Care

Don’t ignore a thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection. Early treatment with TEVAR can prevent catastrophic complications like rupture or stroke.
