Multi-disciplinary Thoracic Aortic Program

Diseases of the thoracic aorta are life-changing diagnoses. The management of these conditions is complex and it is normal for patients and their families to feel overwhelmed by the prospect of major surgery as well as to worry about the long-term implications of this disease. We are here to help.

At the University of Washington “MTAP”, we believe that complex thoracic aortic disease is best treated by a team-based approach. We understand that no individual provider can tackle these complex issues alone, but rather acknowledge the benefit of a multi-disciplinary approach utilizing the diverse specialists available at the University of Washington.  Our team includes both cardiac and vascular surgeons, along with collaborators in cardiology and medical genetics.
