An open aortic aneurysm repair is a surgical procedure to treat an aortic aneurysm, a dangerous bulge in the body's main artery. During the surgery, the aneurysmal segment of the aorta is replaced with a synthetic graft through a large incision in the abdomen or chest. This procedure is performed to prevent the aneurysm from rupturing, which can be life-threatening.
Carotid artery disease refers to the narrowing or blockage of the carotid arteries, which are the primary blood vessels supplying blood to the brain. This condition is often caused by atherosclerosis, a process in which fatty deposits, calcium and thrombus (plaque) build up on the arterial walls, leading to reduced blood flow and increasing the risk of serious complications such as stroke. Training in carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is the classical procedure and important for the prevention of strokes. Training on a simulator allows to pass the learning curve in a safe environment ‘outside the patient’. The patient will be grateful to you.
