At American Heart of Poland cardiologists treat aortic aneurysm utilizing up-to-date equipment and minimally invasive techniques. This is the best hospital for thoracic aortic aneurysm treatment in Poland, and one of the best hospitals for aortic aneurysm repair in Europe.
A team of surgeons carry out repair operation to address the condition. A patient is under general anesthesia and connected to heart-lung bypass machine. Physicians replace damaged part of the aorta with a synthetic graft. Operation lasts for 3-6 hours.
Minimally invasive operation presumes a placement of stent in the damaged part of the aorta. This operation may not be viable for all patients. Cardiologists make decision on whether to repair the aorta or use a stent based on patient’s condition.
