Baptist Health Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute has opened a new center for patients with aortic disease. The Center for Aortic Care will have a multidisciplinary team of experts available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to treat the 11 segments in the aorta and to care for patients at risk of aortic aneurysms or aortic dissections.

“Our new center for aortic care is dedicated to providing patients the highest level of expertise and innovative treatments for aortic conditions,” said Tom C. Nguyen, M.D., chief medical executive, director of minimally invasive valve surgery, and Barry T. Katzen Medical Director Endowed Chair of Baptist Health Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute. “With an experienced team at the helm, we’re equipped to address the most complex cases, offering hope and life-saving care to those dealing with aortic disease.”

The center offers a full range of options available at Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute, including open and traditional surgeries, endovascular treatment, or less invasive treatments that use small incisions.
