Endovascular surgery, a new discipline for the treatment of vascular disease, is still in its infancy.

Balloon angioplasty, angioscopy, mechanical atherectomy and laser angioplasty are the major techniques in endovascular surgery. This article describes procedures, the techniques and complications.
