Love Your Heart: A Cleveland Clinic Podcast

The Surgeons Who Care for Your Aorta

Cleveland Clinic Heart & Vascular Institute

If your aorta, the major artery that carries blood away from your heart, becomes damaged or weak, it could cause it to become wider (aneurysm) or tear (dissection). A different type of doctor or surgeon may see you depending on the size and location of the disease. Dr. Frank Caputo and Dr. Patrick Vargo discuss how our doctors all work together to best care for you.
