What is Aortic Surgery?
Aortic surgery is performed to repair or replace damaged sections of the aorta caused by:
- Aortic aneurysm (enlargement of the aorta)
- Aortic dissection (tear in the aortic wall)
- Aortic valve disease (stenosis or regurgitation)
- Congenital defects
Types of Aortic Surgeries We Perform
- Ascending Aortic Aneurysm Surgery
Treatment for an enlarged upper aorta to prevent rupture. Aortic root replacement surgically removes the part of the aorta which is closest to the heart. It is a life-saving complex procedure. The aortic valve can be repaired (valve-sparing aortic root replacement / David procedure), a technically demanding procedure, and is done with precision by us. At times, the valve also needs to be replaced with a prosthesis (Bentall's procedure)
- Aortic Dissection Repair
Acute aortic dissection is an emergency clinical condition. Without quick diagnosis and medical care, it can lead to sudden death. The patients can present with Type A and Type B dissection.
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Surgery
Repair of aneurysm in the lower aorta using open or endovascular techniques.
- Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR Surgery)
Replacement of damaged valve using mechanical or tissue valves.
- TAVI / TAVR Procedure
Minimally invasive valve replacement without open heart surgery.
- TEVAR / FEVAR Procedure
Advanced endovascular stent grafting for aortic aneurysm and dissection.
