Before the advent of valve sparing aortic repair surgery aneurysm treatment required patients to have their aorta artery replaced with a synthetic Dacron graft or natural tissue replacement. Lamentably, the use of synthetic Dacron grafts causes patients to need to regularly take blood anticoagulants for the rest of their lives. Natural tissue replacement does not necessitate the use of anticoagulants. However, the tissue will break down to the point of requiring surgery again within ten years. Dr. Stewart's treatment makes it possible to repair instead of replacing the aorta artery, sparing the patient the misery of a life filled with postoperative adjustments, compromises and complications.
