Aorta Surgery

Aorta surgery involves repairing or replacing the aorta, the body's main blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. This surgery is typically performed to treat conditions like aortic aneurysms (enlargements of the aorta) or aortic dissection (a tear in the aorta's inner layer). The procedure may be open-heart surgery or a less invasive option called endovascular surgery, depending on the patient's condition. Surgery aims to restore normal blood flow and prevent life-threatening complications. Recovery involves monitoring and follow-up care to ensure the aorta heals properly.
