Aortic surgery in Rabat
The aorta is the body's largest artery: it carries blood from the heart to the whole body. Its dilation or weakening may require surgery.
What is it?
An aneurysm is an abnormal dilation of the aorta; a dissection is a tear in its wall. These situations may require surgical repair to secure the artery.
Who is it for?
It is intended for patients with a significant aneurysm, a dissection, or damage to the aortic wall. Some situations are emergencies.
How your care works
Depending on the location and urgency, the affected segment of the aorta is repaired or replaced. The strategy is defined case by case with the team.
Recovery and follow-up
Recovery depends on the extent of the procedure and involves prolonged specialist follow-up, with regular monitoring of the aorta.
When to consult?
Sudden, severe chest or back pain is an emergency: call the emergency services. Outside emergencies, a known aneurysm requires regular monitoring.
