Aortic Diseases
Aortic diseases are abnormalities of the aorta, the main artery in the body. They can range from small, non-threatening lesions to life-threatening conditions, depending on the type of disease and whether it has been treated. Aortic diseases can involve the walls of the aorta, the valves, or the blood vessels that branch off from the aorta. Treatment for aortic diseases typically involves surgery, medication, lifestyle changes, or a combination of these. When left untreated, aortic diseases can cause serious complications, including stroke, heart attack, organ failure, and even death. Early diagnosis and treatment can greatly reduce the risk of complications and improve quality of life for those affected.
