Endovascular therapy is the manipulation of

pathology by an intraluminal approach
History of endovascular therapy can be divided
into two 30-year periods.

1929

1960

2014

Era of diagnostics

Era of therapeutics

Cardiac and vascular diagnostic

procedures were rapidly developed

Development of interventional
modalities such as embolectomy,
angioplasty, and atherectomy

Era of Therapeutics
(19601990)
EmbolectomyFogarty The earliest disease
entity to be approached intraluminally was
embolic occlusion.
Balloon AngioplastyDotter/Grntzig used
a balloon catheter made by Fogarty to
expansion of the balloon caused an increase
in the lumen diameter (iliac stenosis).
AtherectomySimpson developed the idea
of mechanically removing atheroma from
vessels lumen (atherectomy).

Future Developments

The users of the new technology are often

shared by multiple specialties. In the
endovascular field we have :
Cardiologists
Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeons
Vascular surgeons
Interventional radiologists

All threating the same diseases and pathology with

the same or different techniques and instruments.

program in Jakarta.

and had two cardiovascular thoracic surgery

DO NOT BLAME EACH OTHERS

Endovascular therapy is a multidisciplinary

field
involving contributions from surgeons,
cardiologists
radiologists, physicists, and engineers.

Complication

Access Site Complications

Hematoma and False Aneurysms 2-6%
Arteriovenous Fistula 0,1-0,2%
Access Vessel Thrombosis

Target Site Complications

Acute Closure 1-7%
Rupture 0,6-1,2%
Stent Infection

Distal Complications
Embolization
Cholesterol Embolization

Indication of Endovascular

CHRONIC LIMB ISCHEMIA : Arteriografi, PTA Stent graft

ACUTE LOWER LIMB ISCHEMIA : Thrombolysis , Thromboembolectomy
CAROTID AND VERTEBRAL DISEASE : Angioplasty and stenting
VISCERAL ARTERY OCCLUSIVE DISEASE : Angioplasty and Stenting
THORACIC and ABDOMINAL AORTA : ANEURYSMS AND DISSECTIONS
VISCERAL AND PERIPHERAL ANEURYSMS : Endovascular grafting
VASCULAR MALFORMATIONS : Embolization, coiling
VASCULAR TRAUMA : Arteriografi, Embolization
VENOUS DISEASE : IVC filter, Venoplasty, stenting
ARTERIOVENOUS ACCESS

Advantages and Disadvantages

Endovascular

Advantages
Less invasive
Less hospital length of stay
Less morbidity and mortality

Disadvantages
More expensive

Taiwan

Vascular surgery only gained recognition as a specialty in

the mid-2000s, when the Taiwan Society for Vascular
Surgery was established.
Prior to this endovascular work was largely in the hands of
cardiologists.
There has been a significant volume of carotid and
vertebral angioplasty and stenting done by the Division of
Cardiology at the National University of Taiwan Hospital.
EVAR development was late in Taiwan due to government
regulations mandating a FDA-type trial before any devices
can be registered for use.

Hong Kong

Vascular surgery practice

is mainly confined to
two university hospitals

and the rest are performed

by general surgeons.

Affordable health care

for all citizens are provided

but expensive devices

were not included;
i.e. endografts and stents.

In general, peripheral endovascular surgery is still not

popular due to reluctance of the patients to undergo
intervention and to pay for expensive devices.
Endovascular stent graft remained at this time largely
in the hands of surgeons, working in operating room
setting either individually or in cooperation with
radiologists.

Thailand
Endovascular surgery has also proliferated
significantly in Thailand in the last few years.
Initially supported and reimbursed by the
government, covering 80% of device costs, there has
been a rapid growth of endovascular stent grafts, but
at significant expenses to the government

Malaysia
EVAR and other endovascular surgery is limited to a
very few private vascular surgeons who have the
facilities and the patients to afford the devices.
Currently this remains a very small market.
