Abstract
Aortic aneurysm and dissection surgeries are performed to treat potentially life-threatening conditions involving the aorta, the body’s main artery. An aortic aneurysm is a bulge in the wall of the aorta, while aortic dissection is a tear in the aorta’s inner layer, causing blood to flow between the layers of the aortic wall.

Please be aware that the services offered on this platform are with U.S. physicians via a virtual 2nd opinion service. Diagnosis may differ when the physician has had the opportunity to provide an in-person examination. The absence of the in-person examinations can affect the accuracy of the diagnosis and resulting opinion. Please also be aware that a virtual 2nd opinion will not establish a provider-patient relationship. The provide patient relationship can only be established when the patient signs a consent to treatment form in the physician’s physical clinic location in the United States.
