Complex endovascular aortic repair can be necessary in several specific clinical scenarios, usually involving complicated aortic pathology that cannot be adequately managed with standard endovascular techniques. Some common indications include aortic aneuryms extending into the juxtarenal, pararenal or visceral aorta or into the aortic arch, and aortic dissections. Image analysis and preprocessing is absolutely key.

Training on leg arteries, anastomosis, and bypass procedures is crucial for developing the skills necessary to perform vascular surgeries safely and effectively. Comprehensive training that combines anatomy, proper surgical techniques, and patient care will prepare surgical trainees to deliver high-quality vascular care. Even in the endovascular era, vascular surgery training remains critically important for managing the growing elderly population for several reasons.

Training in imaging and preprocessing for endovascular surgery is essential in this rapidly evolving field. Precise analysis and measurements are key and optimizes procedural planning and therefore proper device selection and strategic procedure planning. Training includes recognizing potential complications that can be identified through imaging, such as dissections, perforations, or thrombosis following endovascular interventions. As technology advances, ongoing education in imaging modalities and preprocessing methods will remain integral to the practice of endovascular surgery.
