When it comes to treating aortic disease and aneurysms, UMass Memorial Health offers the most comprehensive program in New England with the broadest range of treatment options.
We understand how frightening the diagnosis of an aortic aneurysm can be for you. The goal of our highly skilled multidisciplinary team of experts, including vascular surgeons, cardiologists, anesthesiologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and radiologists, is to see you live a long and healthy life, without the burden or fear of your disease. We work together to create a personalized treatment plan that decreases the risk of aneurysm rupture.
Not only do we perform traditional open repair, but we also do minimally invasive endovascular repair. That means a shorter hospital stay and minimal recovery time.
Center for Complex Aortic Disease
The Center for Complex Aortic Disease is a nationwide leader in the repair of complex aortic aneurysms, involving the aorta and arteries to the kidneys and intestines. The center is one of ten centers in the U.S. that has access to custom-made endografts (covered stents placed inside the aneurysm to keep it from rupturing) and one of three centers in the country that can use physician-modified endografts through a clinical trial.
