Thoracic Aorta Surgery

Thoracic aorta surgery involves repairing or replacing a section of the main artery running through the chest, called the thoracic aorta. This procedure is typically done to treat issues like aneurysms (weakened, bulging areas), dissections (tears in the artery wall), or other serious conditions that threaten blood flow or cause risk of rupture. Surgeons may use open surgery or less invasive techniques like endovascular repair, where a stent graft is inserted through blood vessels. The goal is to restore the artery’s integrity, prevent complications, and ensure proper blood circulation.
