Surgery to Repair Your Aorta

Large aneurysms at risk of splitting or bursting may require surgery. Your surgeon may use an open repair technique where a graft is sewn in to repair the damaged part or an endovascular repair where a stent graft is put into place using a thin tube inserted in to the artery. Dr. Patrick Vargo talks about aortic aneurysm surgery. Drs. Milind Desai, Eric Roselli and Vidyasagar Kalahasti discuss considerations after aortic aneurysm surgery.
