For patients with conditions affecting the ascending and arch portions of the aorta, we offer a minimally invasive procedure using a stent endograft inserted endoscopically from the leg or abdomen with an X-ray guiding technique, reinforces the aortic walls and helps prevent aortic rupture.  This procedure requires not time in intensive care, no blood transfusions and only an overnight stay in the hospital, all which help avoid complications associated with open operative repair.
