Aortic Aneurysm Treatment

The aorta is your body’s main blood vessel. It carries oxygen-rich blood from your heart to the rest of your body. If you have a weak spot in your aorta—an aortic aneurysm—you need medical care.

The cardiovascular experts at Emory Heart & Vascular offer a wide range of treatments for aortic aneurysms. We will work with you to find the right therapy that meets your needs.

Emory Heart & Vascular is one of the nation’s top referral centers for aortic aneurysm care. As an academic medical center, we provide the latest treatments. We were the first center in Georgia to implant the minimally invasive, FDA-approved fenestrated endovascular graft to treat aortic aneurysms that affect the kidneys.

Emory aortic surgeons perform more than 700 open and endovascular aortic procedures annually and perform more aortic dissections than any other medical center in Georgia. In addition to performing surgeries for a high volume of patients, our physicians also treat patients who simply need medical management alongside those who need more complex treatments.

Our pioneering surgeons are also involved in many clinical trials that look at new aortic devices and treatments. This research gives you access to therapies that may not be available anywhere else.
