Dr. Aleem Mirza, vascular surgeon with Orlando Health Heart and Vascular Institute, has completed his 100th Fenestrated Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (FEVAR) procedure. This minimally invasive surgical option treats complex aortic aneurysms using a custom stent graft designed to preserve blood flow to vital organs while repairing the vessel. By avoiding open surgery, FEVAR can reduce risk, shorten hospital stays, and support faster recovery for patients who may not have other options.

This achievement reflects not only Dr. Mirza’s expertise, but also the skill and dedication of the entire clinical team who make this advanced care possible every day. Thank you for your continued commitment to delivering innovative, life changing care to our patients.
