Medical Center in Solingen
At Solingen Medical Center surgeons address aortic aneurysm in the Department of Vascular Surgery. Physicians also perform minimally invasive procedure to treat the disease if a patient can’t endure the surgery.
Surgical intervention lasts for 3-6 hours. At the beginning a patient is under general anesthesia and connected to a cardiopulmonary bypass machine. Physicians make an incision in the patient’s chest to gain access to damaged part of the aorta. Diseased part is replaced with synthetic graft.
The cost of ascending aortic aneurysm repair depends on additional medicines used during the operation (if any), in-hospital stay, and patient’s health state prior to the procedure.
