Aortic Surgery

Aortic surgery involves procedures to treat conditions affecting the aorta, the large artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Common reasons for surgery include aortic aneurysms (bulges in the artery) and aortic dissections (tears in the artery wall). Surgery can involve repairing or replacing sections of the aorta to prevent life-threatening complications. It is typically performed by a specialized surgeon and may require a hospital stay and recovery time. The goal is to restore normal blood flow and reduce the risk of serious health issues.
