Patients love it. To see the difference in them when compared with the open procedure, they are completely different. They just look better. They usually don t have to go to the intensive care unit either, they can go straight to another monitored unit, Tober said. Tober said that similar procedures are being developed for aneurysms located in the chest and legs.
Endovascular surgery is very exciting right now.
There are lots of new materials and procedures, he said. The new surgery is more expensive, but Tober said patients won t notice the added cost because the hospital stay is shorter and they can return to work sooner.
