The Methodist Aortic Network

The aorta is the body's largest artery and a vital pathway for all oxygenated blood coming from the heart. So when an aortic problem arises, you need prompt, patient-focused care from a team of experts with years of experience treating problems specific to the aorta.

We developed the Methodist Aortic Network to meet the special needs of patients with a wide variety of aortic conditions. Our team encompasses cardiologists, surgeons, nurse practitioners, and other professionals with a solid base of expertise in treating problems of the aorta. We'll develop a plan of treatment specific to your condition and devote our expertise and resources to helping you recover.

Leaders in Aortic Care Close to Home

The Methodist Aortic Network has placed surgeons specializing in aortic disease at locations throughout the Methodist Hospital system. We've also built up the imaging, ICU, and operational capabilities in our community hospitals, so that patients have access to the same level of care in their communities that they'd receive at our main location in the Texas Medical Center.

If you are a patient or a referring physician and would like more information about the Methodist Aortic Network, please contact us at 713-DEBAKEY (332-2539).
