Abstract
Endovascular technology continues to improve for the treatment of vascular disease. However, application of these technologies without first obtaining proper informed consent may result in medical malpractice litigation. Similarly, use of these technologies without proper government and/or hospital approval may result in both criminal and/or civil liability. Care must be taken when pushing the envelope of endovascular interventions.
