Endovascular stent grafting is a minimally invasive method to treat abdominal and thoracic aneurysms, which can be life-threatening. These stent grafts are placed through a small incision in the groin area, so patients avoid major operations on the abdomen and chest.

Endovascular stent graft: What you need to know

• Endovascular surgery is performed inside your aorta using thin, long tubes called catheters to place a stent surrounded with a fabric liner to reinforce the weak spots.
• You may be eligible for endovascular stent grafting if your aneurysm has not ruptured and it is five centimeters or more in size.
• Patients can often avoid prolonged stays in intensive care and go home in one to days after treatment.
