Tampa General Hospital (TGH) continues to advance specialized cardiovascular care through the TGH Heart & Vascular Institute’s (HVI) Aortic Program. This comprehensive, multidisciplinary program is dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment and lifelong management of patients with complex aortic disease. Experts in vascular surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, cardiology, advanced imaging and care coordination provide seamless, patient-centered care across the spectrum of aortic conditions. Eligible patients may also have access to clinical trials.
The TGH HVI Aortic Program was established to provide highly specialized, evidence-based care while simplifying access and care coordination for patients and referring physicians. Through a collaborative model, patients benefit from expert evaluation, advanced imaging, medical management, minimally invasive endovascular therapies, complex surgical intervention and long-term monitoring. The program allows specialists to review complex cases together and develop individualized treatment plans that address every stage of a patient’s care journey.
A key component of the program is the newly established Aortic Dissection Clinic, dedicated to patients recovering from acute aortic dissection and those living with chronic aortic disease. The clinic provides advanced imaging review, medical management, surgical consultation, patient education and long-term disease monitoring through a dedicated multidisciplinary team. The Aortic Dissection Clinic provides structured, coordinated care while ensuring patients benefit from the collective expertise of the entire Aortic Program.
