Offering the latest advance in minimally invasive surgery to restore function to damaged aortas, vascular surgeons at Capital Health recently performed the region’s first branched thoracic endovascular aortic repair (branched TEVAR). This new minimally invasive procedure can repair a damaged aorta through a small entry in the femoral artery, which means faster recovery and decreased risk for complications. This procedure is now available at Capital Health for patients diagnosed with aortic disease or injury. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/3LGcMkx.
