AORTIC STENTS

Welcome to Aortic Stents.com. Here you will find information about abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA's, or "triple A's") and thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA's), their detection, and a new minimally invasive treatment called stent grafting, also known as EVAR (endovascular aneurysm repair)... An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a dangerous expansion of the main artery in the abdomen, the abdominal aorta. This ballooning of the artery wall is more common in certain high-risk individuals, but is often silent. Undetected, the artery may suddenly burst - with a high fatality rate. This silent killer has been called "the U-boat in the abdomen."
