Procedures

Abnormal aortic aneurysmectomy and grafting

Abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy and grafting is a procedure to repair or remove an aneurysm in the aorta (the main artery from the heart to the body). An aneurysm is a weak spot that balloons out from the wall of a blood vessel. Aneurysms can burst and cause internal bleeding. If this happens, you may need emergency surgery to save your life.

Angioplasty is the technique of mechanically widening a narrowed or obstructed blood vessel, typically as a result of atherosclerosis.

Angiograms

An angiogram is an X-ray test that uses a special dye and camera to take pictures of the blood flow in an artery or a vein.
