What is Aortic Surgery?
Aortic surgery is a specialized cardiovascular procedure performed to repair or replace a damaged portion of the aorta, the body's main artery. The goal is to restore normal blood flow, prevent rupture, and reduce the risk of life-threatening complications such as stroke, organ damage, or sudden internal bleeding. Depending on the condition, surgery may involve replacing the weakened section of the aorta with a durable synthetic graft or reinforcing it using advanced endovascular stent graft technology.
