Abstract

In superficial venous insufficiency, surgery remains the treatment of choice. Endovenous therapies are a minimal invasive alternative, whose long-term results are not demonstrated yet. In the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm, endovascular repair (EVAR) and laparoscopic approach are comparatively studied with open repair, to define their precise indications. In occlusive arterial disease, endovascular treatment offers inferior results in term of durability and patency, however with a decrease in morbidity and mortality.
