Medical staff at Aorta Center of Ewha Womans University Aorta and Vascular Hospital has an organic multidisciplinary system with the best in each field, and operate a proven quick surgery/procedure system (EXPRESS; Ewha Xtraordinary Precision Safe AORTIC Surgery).
The human body contains numerous blood vessels, and the aorta acts as a “highway” for them. The aorta receives blood directly from the heart, branches out, and delivers oxygen and nutrients to the organs and cells of the entire body, so it is a large vessel, approximately 2centimeters in diameter, and its tissues are elastic.
Although the aorta is very strong, can lead to life-threatening emergencies if issues arise. Therefore, if one is diagnosed with an aortic disease, it is essential to visit a hospital with specialized medical staff and receive prompt treatment.
The Aortic Center of the Ewha Womans University Seoul Aortic Vascular Hospital is equipped with a full spectrum of medical personnel and facilities, including cardiovascular surgery, radiology intervention, cardiovascular anesthesia, specialized nursing staff for aortic disease, emergency rooms, operating rooms, intensive care units, and aortic wards, and is the leading aortic disease treatment center in Korea, operating 24 hours a day.
At the Aortic Center of the Ewha Womans University Seoul Aortic Vascular Hospital, medical personnel equipped with the highest skills in each field operate EXPRESS (Ewha Xtraordinary Precision Safe Aortic Surgery) based on a close multidisciplinary system. The center boasts the highest volume of aortic surgeries and procedures in Korea, along with the best survival rates and lowest complication rates.
The guardians of patients with severe aortic disease who require difficult and severe surgeries and procedures come from all over the country to our center, and even tertiary hospitals (higher-level general hospitals) are transferring patients to our center. Therefore, the Ewha Womans University Seoul Aortic Vascular Hospital is called a quaternary hospital, rather than a tertiary hospital.
