Complex Thoracic Aortic Surgery Part One

Thoracic Aortic Surgery Programs specialize in treatment of thoracic
aortic disease, which often requires complex procedures. In this
example, presented by Dr. Sharo Raissi at the Bicuspid Aortic Foundation's Conference in
2009, surgery for the aortic valve, root, and ascending aorta was
followed by endovascular surgery for a descending aortic aneurysm.
Complex procedures on higher risk patients may be performed
successfully in centers with state-of-the-art technology and expertise. For additional information, visit www.bicuspidfoundation.com and www.torrancememorial.org/aorta .
