Thoracic Aortic Aneursym - Open

Clinical Information

During an opean aneurysm repair surgery, a surgeon will make an incision in the chest to replace the weakened portion of the aorta (the largest artery in the body) with a fabric tube called a graft. A thoracic aortic aneursym operation is performed to prevent the weakened area from bursting or rupturing.
