Lifelong Monitoring and Care
Many patients diagnosed with a thoracic aortic condition do not require immediate surgery. For example, a small aneurysm or one that does not have symptoms can be watched closely and steps can be taken to help manage the condition.
Whether a patient undergoes a procedure or needs monitoring, the Thoracic Aortic Center’s physicians – in collaboration with primary care physicians – are committed to the long-term monitoring and treatment of patients.
