What is Endovascular Procedures of the Abdomen/Lower Extremities about?

This chapter continues an overview of endovascular procedures, focusing on interventions below the diaphragm. Endovascular intervention has become the major technique for management of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), both ruptured and unruptured. Advancements in endovascular techniques have shortened AAA operative and recovery times and permitted intervention on patients previously felt too tenuous for an open surgical approach. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) can also be treated with a variety of endovascular techniques, including angioplasty, atherectomy, and stenting. Endovascular interventions in PAD have similarly reduced the recovery burden for patients and provide similar outcomes to open procedures. The minimally invasive nature of the endovascular approach often allows greater flexibility in anesthetic technique compared to open procedures. In conjunction with the procedural approach, the patient’s health status, preferences, and anesthesiologist preferences permit a choice of anesthesia care that may lie along a spectrum ranging from local anesthesia with minimal sedation to full general endotracheal anesthesia. The endovascular approach does, however, present specific
