Abstract

The twentieth century witnessed a tremendous explosion in the application of minimally invasive, catheter-based interventions in virtually all vascular bed territories, surpassing the number of performed open surgical cases by the end of that time period. This fact allowed a greater number of patients to be candidates for potentially life-saving surgical interventions, many of whom could not have tolerated the superior stresses of an open surgical procedure. The development of such technological advances that can provide significant benefits to our patients does require the participation of both industry and physicians; neither group by themselves could achieve these goals in isolation. Such cooperation is a new paradigm, first tested during the development of laparoscopy in the general surgery specialty and clearly expanded in vascular surgery. Whereas no major technological advances have been reported during the beginning of the twenty-first century in open vascular surgery techniques, major improvements in the endovascular arena have been described, from the technological and technical points of view. This chapter is a concise review of the most recent and important techniques and device developments involved in vascular interventions.
