- Advanced diagnostic and treatment methods that equal or exceed most programs available throughout the U.S.
- Comprehensive clinical examinations, often supplemented by non-invasive vascular testing procedures
- Evaluations for any associated problems, such as underlying cardiac, pulmonary or renal disease, so we can assess the surgical risk for each individual patient
- A state-of-the-art surgical suite specifically designed for vascular and endovascular surgery
- Leading edge vascular reconstructive surgical procedures
- Post-operative evaluations for all patients, including semi-annual or annual follow-up appointments
GORE® TAG® thoracic endoprosthesis
Baylor Scott & White vascular surgeons were the first in Central Texas to use this aortic "endograft" (stent-graft) to safely and effectively treat patients with aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta.
- Time-tested, second generation endograft — the first approved thoracic stent-graft in the U.S.
- A minimally invasive alternative to traditional, high-risk surgery that requires a large incision in the chest to place a synthetic graft to repair the diseased artery
- Allows for a shorter hospital stay and less pain during recovery
