The short answer

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in India costs USD 8,000–15,000, including the stent graft device, procedure, and hospital stay. It's a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms, using catheters inserted through the groin to place a graft inside the artery, resulting in shorter recovery than traditional open repair.

About Endovascular Aneurysm Repair

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a minimally invasive technique for treating an abdominal aortic aneurysm — a dangerous bulge in the body's main artery — by placing a fabric-covered metal stent graft inside the artery via catheters, rather than through open surgery. The graft reinforces the artery wall and redirects blood flow away from the weakened, bulging section, reducing the risk of rupture.

Who it is for

Recommended for patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm above a size threshold considered at risk of rupture, whose vascular anatomy is suitable for a stent graft, as determined by CT angiography.

What happens during treatment

A vascular surgeon accesses the femoral arteries in the groin, usually through small incisions or punctures, and guides the stent graft into place under X-ray (fluoroscopic) guidance. The graft is expanded and secured inside the aneurysm, excluding it from blood flow and pressure.

Why patients choose India for this

Experienced endovascular teams

High-volume vascular centers with surgeons skilled in complex stent graft placement, including for challenging aneurysm anatomy

Advanced imaging for planning

Access to detailed CT angiography for precise pre-procedure sizing and graft selection

Wide stent graft device access

Availability of leading global stent graft brands suited to varying aneurysm shapes and sizes

Significant cost advantage

Total cost including device and hospital stay is a fraction of equivalent procedures in the US, UK, or Gulf countries

How Endovascular Aneurysm Repair is done

  1. Diagnostic imagingCT angiography maps the aneurysm size, shape, and surrounding artery anatomy to plan the correct stent graft
  2. Femoral accessSmall incisions or punctures are made in both groins to access the femoral arteries
  3. Stent graft placementCatheters guide the stent graft up to the aneurysm site under X-ray guidance, where it is deployed and expanded to seal off the aneurysm
  4. Position and seal confirmationImaging confirms the graft is correctly positioned with no leakage around it (endoleak)
  5. Closure and recoveryAccess points are closed, and the patient is monitored in recovery before transfer to a ward bed

Recovery and what to expect

  • First 24 hoursMonitoring in ICU or high-dependency unit; groin access sites checked for bleeding
  • Day 2-3Mobilization begins; most patients are discharged by day 2-3 if recovery is uncomplicated
  • Week 1-2Gradual return to light activity; groin puncture sites heal
  • Month 1 and beyondFollow-up CT scan to confirm graft position and check for endoleaks; lifelong periodic surveillance imaging recommended

Where it is done

Frequently asked questions

How is EVAR different from open aneurysm surgery?
EVAR is done through small groin punctures using catheters, avoiding a large abdominal incision, resulting in a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery than open surgery.
Will I need lifelong follow-up after EVAR?
Yes — periodic CT scans are recommended to monitor the stent graft position and check for leaks (endoleaks) around the repair.
What is an endoleak?
An endoleak is when blood continues to flow into the aneurysm sac around the stent graft; it's monitored via follow-up imaging and may require additional treatment if detected.
How soon can I return to normal activity after EVAR?
Most patients resume light activity within 1-2 weeks, with full recovery typically by 4-6 weeks.
What are the risks of EVAR?
Risks include endoleak, graft migration, access site complications, and rarely, the need for future intervention if the graft doesn't seal the aneurysm completely.
How long does a stent graft last?
Most stent grafts remain functional for many years, though ongoing surveillance is needed to detect any late complications early.
Can EVAR be performed if I have ohealthther conditions?
EVAR's minimally invasive nature makes it a good option for higher-risk patients who may not tolerate open surgery well, though each case is assessed individually.
