Aortic aneurysm Treatment in Leech Private Clinic
About the clinic
Treatment for an aortic aneurysm at Leech Private Clinic in Graz, Austria, focuses on vascular surgery and interventional angiology. The clinic holds EN ISO 9001:2015 accreditation and operates within the SANLAS Holding group to maintain high standards. Patients benefit from a specialized system that allows them to choose from over 100 attending physicians for their care.
Diagnostic capabilities
The clinic uses on-site medical imaging to identify the size and location of an aneurysm. Fast and accurate results help doctors determine if surgery is necessary. Available diagnostic tools include:
- CT scan. Angiography provides detailed images of the blood vessels.
- X-ray. This tool helps in preliminary screening and monitoring.
Treatment methods
Vascular specialists at the clinic perform both open and minimally invasive procedures. The choice of method depends on the condition of the aorta. Dr. Andreas Dorr, a specialist in internal medicine and angiology, provides expert oversight for vascular conditions. Treatment options include:
- Stent grafting. A fabric tube reinforces the weak spot in the aorta.
- Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). This interventional technique helps repair vessel issues.
- Open vascular surgery. This traditional method is used for complex aneurysm cases.

Leech Private Clinic is equipped with three operating theaters and 44 beds. Patients receive nursing care 24 hours a day during their stay. For those requiring follow-up care, the facility maintains a partnership with Private Hospital Laßnitzhöhe for specialized rehabilitation.

Leech Private Clinic : more details about the clinic
Privatklinik Leech, founded in 1973, is a private surgical clinic in the centre of Graz, the capital of Styria in southern Austria. It belongs to SANLAS Holding, a Styrian healthcare group founded in 1980 that today runs twelve health facilities across rehabilitation, care, prevention, acute medicine and surgery. Leech works as a "Belegarzt" clinic: patients are treated by the specialist of their choice from a team of around 100 doctors, who use the clinic's operating theatres, nursing team and infrastructure. With 44 beds in single and double rooms, three operating theatres and a round-the-clock recovery unit, the clinic combines a broad surgical range with the comfort and personal atmosphere of a small private hospital in the heart of the city.
