endovascular intervention

Full Definition

Endovascular intervention refers to therapeutic procedures performed inside blood vessels using catheter-based approaches, guided by real-time imaging. These interventions include angioplasty, stent placement, embolization, and thrombectomy. The term is frequently used in vascular imaging reports to describe treatment planning or follow-up assessments. Editors should note that 'endovascular' is always one word and typically modifies 'intervention,' 'repair,' or 'treatment.'

Usage

Usage note: Always written as one word; commonly abbreviated as EVI in some contexts but spell out on first use.
