Aortic Disease
Vascular disease affecting the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the entire body. Disease of this artery can be blockages (plaque), aneurysms (ballooning), traumatic injury, or dissections (tears). Aortic disease can cause damage to organs, extremities, disability, and death.
- Thoracic aortic aneurysm
Ballooning of the aorta in the chest. Once it reaches a certain size threshold repair is recommended to prevent rupture.
Read More- Thoracic aortic transection
Damage to the aorta in the chest typically the result of high-speed motor vehicle accident or fall from height.
Read More- Thoracic aortic dissection
Tear in the aorta in the chest that can extend to the heart and or to the legs. This can result in heart attack, stroke, organ damage, kidney failure and loss of blood flow to the extremities.
Read More- Thoracoabdominal aneurysm
Ballooning of the aorta in the chest that extends into the abdomen. Once it reaches a certain size threshold repair is recommended to prevent rupture.
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm
Ballooning of the aorta in the abdomen. Once it reaches a certain size threshold repair is recommended to prevent rupture.
- Abdominal aortic dissection
Tear in the aorta in the abdomen that can cause damage to organs, kidneys or lower extremity blood flow.
- Abdominal aortic injuries
Damage to the aorta in the abdomen from motor vehicle accident or penetrating trauma
Read More- Abdominal aortic occlusive disease
Blockages of the major artery in the abdomen typically resulting in leg pain with walking. This often extended into the iliac arteries.

Conditions We Treat
Vascular Disease has many different forms and can affect any part of the body. We specialize in treating vascular disease in all parts of the body except the heart. Interventions we perform can improve the quality of life and importantly prevent stroke, amputation, and death.
