Aortic Disease

Treatment Options

We offer more specific endovascular aortic services than many surrounding hospitals, including:

• Angioplasty
• Balloons and stent-grafts
  
• Close monitoring, screenings and medication
  
• Surgery

The Latest Techniques

We are a national pioneer in less invasive endovascular techniques (only requiring a small incision in the groin) to repair aneurysms.

When a condition requires surgery, our expert doctors can:

• Repair aorta walls damaged by traumatic injury
• Open up arteries
• Connect gaps between arteries with tubes or grafts
• Insert artificial blood vessels into the aorta to replace a thoracic aneurysm.

The Innovation Continues

Surgery is now the usual option for aneurysms 6 cm or larger, but we are conducting research so we can repair these larger aneurysms without major operations.
