Abstract

Kateter bazlı teknikler aracılığıyla gerçekleştirilen endovasküler girişimler, damar hastalıklarının tedavisinde kullanılan minimal invaziv tıbbi prosedürlerdir. Bu yöntemler, geleneksel açık cerrahiye kıyasla iyileşme süresini kısaltır, komplikasyon riskini azaltır ve operasyonel zorlukları en aza indirir. Yeni teknolojiler, endovasküler prosedürleri geliştirerek güvenliğini ve etkinliğini artırmış ve hedefe yönelik tedavilerin daha iyi sonuçlar üretmesini sağlamıştır. Bu makale, modern tıpta bu teknolojilerin mevcut durumunu ve gelecekteki yenilik potansiyelini incelemek amacıyla hazırlanmıştır.

TECHNOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS IN ENDOVASCULAR INTERVENTIONS

Abstract

Through catheter based techniques, endovascular interventions are minimally invasive medical procedures used in the treatment of vascular diseases. They minimize recovery time, complication risk and operational difficulties relative to standard open surgery. New technologies have refined endovascular procedures, improved their safety and efficacy, and enabled targeted therapies to produce better outcomes. This article is used to review the face of these technologies in modern medicine and future innovation potential.
