“I need an expert aortic surgeon for my aneurysm or dissection.”
The aorta is the body’s largest artery. An aneurysm is a bulge in its wall, and a dissection is a tear in its inner layer. Either one means you need an experienced aortic surgeon. We use both open surgery and minimally invasive stent grafts to prevent rupture.
