Vascular diseases can be treated with medication, minimally invasive endovascular surgery (treatment with a balloon or stent), access surgery or with classical open surgery (bypass, artificial vessel). At the Maria Middelares General Hospital, more than 75% of the vascular procedures are performed as minimally invasive procedures. Examples include stents in the leg, pelvis and carotid arteries, as well as endoprostheses for aneurysms in the abdominal or thoracic artery.
