When facing a serious aortic condition, choosing the right treatment approach is one of the most critical decisions for your long-term survival and quality of life. Traditionally, diseases of the aorta required major open chest or abdominal surgery, involving large incisions, prolonged ICU stays, and a physically demanding recovery.
Today, there is a far more advanced and patient-friendly solution. TEVAR (Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair) in Mohali has transformed the way life-threatening aortic diseases are treated. Under the expertise of Dr. Ishant Singla at Livasa Hospital, patients across Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh now have access to world-class, minimally invasive aortic care—without the need for open surgery.

What is TEVAR (Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair)?
TEVAR is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat diseases of the thoracic aorta, such as:
- Aortic aneurysm (bulging of the artery wall)
- Aortic dissection (tear in the inner wall)
- Traumatic aortic injury
Instead of opening the chest, TEVAR is performed through a small puncture in the groin (femoral artery).
How the Procedure Works
- A thin catheter is inserted through the artery in the leg
- Using real-time imaging guidance, it is advanced to the diseased portion of the aorta
- A stent graft is deployed inside the aorta
- The graft reinforces the weak area and restores normal blood flow
This approach avoids major surgery while delivering life-saving results with high precision.
Conditions Treated with TEVAR in Mohali
At Livasa Hospital, TEVAR is used to manage a wide range of serious aortic conditions:
Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
A dangerous enlargement of the aorta that can rupture if untreated.
Aortic Dissection
A tear in the aortic wall that disrupts blood flow and can quickly become fatal.
Penetrating Aortic Ulcer
A condition where plaque erodes into the aortic wall.
Traumatic Aortic Injury
Often caused by accidents and requires urgent intervention.
Post-Surgical or Complex Aortic Conditions
Including cases where previous open surgery makes reoperation high-risk.
TEVAR vs Traditional Open Aortic Surgery
Understanding the difference can help you make a confident treatment decision.
| Feature | Traditional Open Surgery | TEVAR Procedure |
|---|---|---|
| Incision | Large chest incision | Small puncture in groin |
| Chest Opening | Required | Not required |
| ICU Stay | Longer | Shorter |
| Hospital Stay | 10–14 days | 2–4 days |
| Recovery Time | 2–3 months | 1–2 weeks |
| Blood Loss | High | Minimal |
| Pain | Significant | Mild |
| Risk of Complications | Higher | Significantly reduced |
Life-Changing Benefits of TEVAR
No Open Surgery Required
TEVAR eliminates the need for large incisions or rib spreading. The entire procedure is done internally using catheter-based technology.
Faster Recovery
Most patients are able to walk within 24 hours and return to daily activities much sooner compared to traditional surgery.
Lower Risk of Complications
Because the body is not exposed to major trauma, the risks of infection, bleeding, and organ complications are significantly reduced.
Minimal Pain and Scarring
A small puncture replaces a large surgical wound, leading to far less discomfort and almost no visible scar.
High Precision Treatment
Advanced imaging and stent technology allow accurate placement and long-term durability.
