Construyendo la historia de la cirugía endovascular

The appearance of minimally invasive surgery, and within it, the endovascular techniques, in relation to the sociocultural evolution of the doctor-patient relationship from the era of the so-called medical paternalism that, once the human rights and the rights of the patients came on the scene, patients gained freedom as regards their health, diagnosis and therapeutic techniques they receive. Finally, the history of endovascular techniques is briefly described, and the name Endovascular Surgery is formally proposed to include these. Finally, some thoughts are expressed on the current technolatry and the technological developments they entail.
