La combinación de la Plataforma láser Etherea con el láser de Nd-Yag y luz pulsada de alta intensidad, permite conseguir unos resultados excelentes en el tratamiento de las arañas vasculares.

En caso de requerirse una intervención, se aplican técnicas de micro-cirugía, que entre otras ventajas acortan los plazos de recuperación y reducen las molestias del proceso postoperatorio.

Endovascular repair of the thoracoabdominal aorta with branched endoprosthesis.

This complex operation, performed by the specialists at Clínica Rotger, can correct the potentially fatal dilatation of the aorta endoscopically.

The aorta is the largest artery in the human body. It starts in the heart, runs through the chest and reaches the abdomen, supplying the major organs of the body. An aortic aneurysm is a widening of the artery at a specific point along its length, and most commonly occurs in the abdomen.

Unfortunately, these aneurysms are silent and virtually asymptomatic, except in some cases where there is a feeling of constant, deep pain in the abdomen, pain in the back or the sensation of a pulse in the navel.

Although the incidence in the population is relatively low and men are more commonly affected than women, the disease should be monitored, especially if there is a history in first-degree relatives or a risk factor such as smoking or COPD. It is usually easy to diagnose with an ultrasound or CT scan, so regular screening and vascular examinations are recommended, especially in older patients.

Endovascular repair involves implanting a modular tubular prosthesis into the aorta and its branches to vital organs such as the stomach, liver, intestines or kidneys through minimal incisions in the groin or armpit. This channels blood flow through one of the body's major arteries and corrects the aneurysm or thoracoabdominal deformity that, if left untreated, could rupture and cause severe, life-threatening internal bleeding.

This minimally invasive procedure catheterises and directs blood flow through this major blood vessel and its branches to vital organs such as the stomach, liver, intestines and kidneys.
