Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) and thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) are minimally invasive modalities for the treatment of aneurysms, dissections, penetrating ulcers, and traumatic aortic injury. Aortic stent grafts can be used to exclude an aneurysm sac, encourage thrombosis of a false lumen, cover an entry tear or penetrating ulcer, or seal a transection.
