Our Approach to Aortic, Iliac & Peripheral Aneurysm Repair
Montefiore Einstein Center for Heart and Vascular Care leads the field in minimally invasive aortic, iliac and peripheral aneurysm repair. Almost two decades ago, Montefiore Einstein performed the first endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in the United States.Today, we continue to offer advanced, personalized care using the most innovative treatments and techniques. Our interdisciplinary team of vascular surgeons, cardiologists, and cardiac surgeons collaborate closely to develop the most minimally invasive surgical treatment plan possible for each individual patient. We’re ranked in the top 1% of all hospitals in the nation for Cardiology, Heart & Vascular Surgery according to U.S. News & World Report.
Procedures We Offer
Open Aneurysm Repair
During open repair, an incision is made to directly visualize and repair the aneurysm. A graft is sewn to the involved blood vessel, connecting one end of the artery at the site of the aneurysm to the other end.
Endovascular Repair
During endovascular repair, small incisions are made in the groin. Special tools and X-ray and imaging techniques are used for guidance. A stent-graft is inserted via the femoral artery and advanced up into the aorta to the site of the aneurysm. The stent helps to hold the graft open and in place.
