An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a dangerous and silent condition. If left untreated, it can lead to a life-threatening rupture. At Chinese General Hospital (CGH), we are dedicated to providing advanced, minimally invasive treatments like Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) that protect your vascular health and save lives.
What is EVAR?
EVAR is a cutting-edge procedure used to repair abdominal aortic aneurysms. Instead of the traditional open surgery, which requires a large abdominal incision, EVAR uses a much smaller incision in the groin. Through this tiny opening, a stent graft is guided into the aorta to reinforce its weakened walls and prevent a rupture.
Why Choose EVAR at CGH?
- Less Invasive, More Effective
- EVAR uses tiny incisions, which means a less painful recovery, less complications, and minimal scarring.
- The procedure avoids major surgery, reducing risks such as infection, blood loss, and extended hospital stays.
- Faster Recovery
- Patients who undergo EVAR typically spend only a few days in the hospital, compared to the weeks or even months of recovery needed for traditional surgery.
- Most patients are back to normal activities in just a few weeks.
- Reduced Risk for High-Risk Patients
- For patients who are older or have underlying health conditions, EVAR is a safer alternative to open surgery, offering effective treatment with less strain on the body.
Our Legacy of Innovation in EVAR
CGH was one of the first hospitals in the country to successfully perform EVAR in 2000. CGH Heart Institute (HI) has also trained other local and international implanters from Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand. Since then, we’ve led the way in minimally invasive vascular procedures, offering the latest and most advanced techniques to keep our patients safe and healthy. Our team of highly trained vascular specialists brings unparalleled experience and precision to every EVAR procedure.
A Comprehensive Approach to Care
At CGH, we believe that exceptional care goes beyond the procedure itself. From the moment of diagnosis through every follow-up appointment, we prioritize personalized, compassionate care that puts our patients at ease. Our multidisciplinary team collaborates to create a tailored treatment plan for each patient, ensuring the best possible outcome with minimal disruption to daily life.
