Several specific surgical techniques are used for repairing different types of blood vessels: surgical repair of a vessel
While open surgical repair remains definitive for many conditions, the past three decades have witnessed a paradigm shift. Endovascular repair (e.g., EVAR for abdominal aortic aneurysm, or stent grafting for traumatic pseudoaneurysm) involves accessing the vessel percutaneously, advancing a guidewire, and deploying a covered stent across the lesion. This avoids large incisions, reduces infection risk, and shortens recovery. However, endovascular techniques are not universally applicable: tortuous anatomy, heavy calcification, or vessels less than 3–4 mm in diameter often mandate open surgery.
