Because of its low invasiveness, endovascular aneurysmal repair was established as a new method of treatment for aortic aneurysms, revolutionizing the treatment of this condition. With the continuing development of technology and devices, endovascular aneurysmal repair has become safer than before. Innovations in imaging support systems including navigation systems have contributed greatly to the development of endovascular procedures, making transcatheter aortic valve implantation a safe surgical option. We discuss such innovations and the future development of imaging support systems for safe cardiovascular surgery.
