The Asia-Pacific region is increasingly adopting minimally invasive vascular surgery (MIVS) due to rising diseases, aging, diabetes, and unhealthy lifestyles. MIVS improves patient outcomes and healthcare accessibility.
FREMONT, CA: The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is witnessing an increase in vascular diseases attributed to factors such as aging demographics, escalating diabetes prevalence, and unhealthy lifestyle choices. This trend underscores the urgency of shifting towards minimally invasive vascular surgery (MIVS) to enhance patient outcomes and optimize healthcare efficiency.
MIVS employs smaller incisions, commonly through the groin or wrist, to access the vascular system utilizing specialized catheters and tools. This approach confers several advantages. Firstly, it reduces trauma to surrounding tissues, facilitating faster wound healing and shorter hospitalization periods. Additionally, MIVS procedures often entail minimal post-operative pain due to the use of local anesthesia or light sedation. Furthermore, patients undergoing MIVS experience quicker recovery times, enabling them to resume normal activities sooner and enhancing their overall quality of life. Moreover, the cosmetic aspect is improved as smaller incisions result in minimal scarring, contributing to a more aesthetically pleasing outcome.
The APAC region is experiencing a notable surge in adopting advanced Minimally Invasive Vascular Surgery (MIVS) techniques. Among these techniques are:
Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR): EVAR involves repairing weakened aortic walls using a stent graft inserted through a catheter. Its popularity in the APAC region is rising due to its minimally invasive approach and favorable long-term outcomes.
