How does a custom-fitted aortic sleeve implant minimise the risk of life-threatening aortic aneurysm? An aortic aneurysm occurs when the biggest artery in the body, the aorta, bulges or balloons, and even ruptures, due to a number of reasons.

Adj A/Prof Vitaly A Sorokin, NUHCS - National University Heart Centre, Singapore Cardiothoracic Surgeon, shares more about this preventive measure.

Aortic aneurysm is a silent but serious condition. โš ๏ธ When the walls of the bodyโ€™s main artery - the aorta - weaken and start to bulge, it can lead to a sudden, life-threatening rupture.

At NUHCS, patients now have access to the Personalised External Aortic Root Support (PEARS) - a customised, preventive treatment that protects the at-risk aorta from rupturing.

The first procedure in Southeast Asia was performed by Adj A/Prof Vitaly A. Sorokin, Head, Division of Adult Cardiac Surgery, Department of Cardiac, Thoracic and Vascular Surgery, NUHCS, in November 2024.
