What is endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR)?

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a procedure to fix an aortic aneurysm in the abdomen. It's called endovascular because a doctor repairs the aneurysm from the inside of the damaged blood vessel (the aorta). This is a minimally invasive procedure. Local or general anesthesia might be used but it is not a surgery.

Im not sure if you have the same type of aneurysm BUT a second opinion can’t hurt? It might be reassuring to know.
