Techniques endovasculaires thérapeutiques

Abstract

Innovating technology and strict validation procedures have permitted confirmation of some of the indications of percutaneous endovascular therapeutic techniques and have led to the emergence of new ones. General aspects of these procedures are first reviewed. We then describe revascularisation techniques with an emphasize on material, results, and indications in percutaneous treatment of arterial stenosis, and occlusions. The third chapter is related to percutaneous embolisation techniques for homeostasis, tumor devascularisation, vascular malformations and shunt creations. Finally, other techniques are described such as endografts for the treatment of aortic aneurysms, cava filters, implantable venous access ports, retrieval of endovascular lost objects, TIPS, false aneurysms’treatment by ultrasound guided compression.
