血管腔內主動脈瘤修復手術（EVAR）的護理 | 合法醫療器材資訊網

主動脈疾病的治療，在過去多是以傳統手術方式、將病灶處切除後進行人工血管置換；近年來、血管腔內主動脈瘤修復（endovascularaneurysmrepair,EVAR）手術發展，即是 ...

The treatment of aortic disease previously used conventional open surgery to replace the aorta with artificial vascular prosthesis after resecting the lesioned segment. The recently developed technique of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) uses a stent graft to reinforce the diseased aortic wall while allowing blood flow continuity and preventing further aortic expansion, dissection and aortic rupture. Taiwans National Health Insurance now covers payment for authorized EVAR procedures, making treatments safer for patients who are elderly, have congestive heart failure, have multiple comorbidities, or have other high-risk factors. EVAR is gradually replacing previous methods to become the primary treatment approach for aortic disease. This article discusses the development of EVAR, in...
