SIRweb.org (free public access). As stated in these guidelines, TEVAR is a minimally invasive alternative to open surgical reconstruction that is being incorporated into vascular surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, interventional radiology, interventional cardiology, and vascular medicine practices. Endovascular repair of thoracic aortic pathology has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative to open surgical repair that has been associated with reduced morbidity and more rapid recovery. This report delineates the skill set and knowledge base necessary to successfully perform TEVAR according to a consensus of opinions of experts who have been pioneers in developing the technology, have had national leadership roles in clinical trials, and have trained physicians who have developed new centers of excellence in TEVAR.
