Aneurysms

An aortic aneurysm is an enlargement that occurs in the wall of the main blood vessel (aorta) that carries blood from the heart to the body.

Aortic aneurysms can occur anywhere in the aorta and can be tube-shaped (fusiform) or round (sacoid). Having an aortic aneurysm increases the risk of a tear in the inner layer of the aortic wall (aortic dissection).

Our Center covers with great success the ENTIRE range of thoracic aortic aneurysms including the aortic root, ascending aorta, aortic arch, and descending aorta.
