Your body’s main artery is the aorta. You rely on it to carry oxygen-rich blood from your heart to your organs and limbs. Sometimes, the layers in the wall of your aorta can tear and cause internal bleeding. That separation is an aortic dissection—and it’s a life-threatening condition.
The cardiovascular specialists at Emory Heart & Vascular have the expertise to detect and diagnose your aortic dissection. We will work with you to choose the treatment option that best fits your needs.
When you need expert aortic dissection care, our pioneering surgeons are here for you. They constantly research new aortic devices and treatments. This lets us manage conditions we couldn’t treat in the past.
