We treat conditions including:

• Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
• Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA).
• Emergency aortic aneurysm rupture and dissection.
• Acute limb ischemia.

Procedures

We provide the most advanced procedures in our operating suite with state-of-the-art imaging for minimally invasive and traditional open procedures including:

• Minimally invasive endovascular aneurysm repair. Our surgeons are leaders in minimally invasive techniques. The procedure involves inserting a catheter equipped with 3-D imaging and placing an endovascular stent-graft at the site of your aneurysm to improve blood flow. You may be a candidate depending on the location, size and shape of your aneurysm.
• Open surgical repair. Requires an incision in your chest or abdomen and placement of a graft in the weakened portion of your aorta to seal off the aneurysm.

About Aortic Aneurysms

• Aortic aneurysms can be difficult to diagnose and treat.
• You may need immediate intervention to make sure your aneurysm doesn't rupture.
• Risk factors for aortic aneurysms include:
  • Being male and 65 or older.
  • Smoking.
  • Hypertension (high blood pressure).
  • High cholesterol.
  • Family history of aortic aneurysm.
  • Chronic lung disease.
• If you're diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm in a non-emergency situation, our first approach to treatment is to closely monitor you and manage your risk factors, such as high blood pressure, to prevent the need for surgery.
