What conditions are most often treated by endovascular stent surgery?

* Carotid artery disease: This condition occurs when the carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain, become narrowed or blocked. Endovascular stent surgery can be used to widen the arteries and improve blood flow.

* Aortic aneurysm: This is a condition in which the aorta, the largest artery in the body, becomes enlarged and weakened. Endovascular stent surgery can be used to reinforce the aorta and prevent it from rupturing.

* Peripheral artery disease: This condition occurs when the arteries in the legs or arms become narrowed or blocked. Endovascular stent surgery can be used to improve blood flow to the affected limbs.

* Renal artery stenosis: This is a condition in which the renal arteries, which supply blood to the kidneys, become narrowed or blocked. Endovascular stent surgery can be used to widen the arteries and improve blood flow to the kidneys.
