Aortic Surgery
The aorta is the body's largest blood vessel, through which blood travels from the heart to all organs.
Aortic diseases can include:
- aneurysms
- aortic dissection
- congenital abnormalities
- degenerative changes to the vessel wall
These conditions are potentially dangerous and can be life-threatening.
Surgical treatment involves reconstructing or replacing the affected section of the aorta using modern vascular prostheses.
The goal of surgery is to prevent aortic rupture and restore normal blood circulation.
