The aorta is the largest artery in the body. The part of the aorta that runs from the heart to the abdomen is known as the thoracic aorta. A balloon-like dilation of this artery is known as a Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (TAA). If the TAA becomes sufficiently enlarged it may significantly increase the risk of rupture and severe internal bleeding. At Vascular, Interventioal & Vein Associates we are specialized in minimally invasive techniques for treatment of TAAs.
