Ochsner Health Announces New Aortic Center (IMAGE)
Caption
Over the past two decades, global death rates from aortic diseases have steadily increased. Ochsner Health is excited to announce the establishment of the Ochsner Aortic Center to save lives and improve outcomes for heart disease patients. Outfitted with cutting-edge technology that allows medical staff to make faster, easier, and safer decisions, this dedicated aortic center will be one of only a few in the Gulf South. The Ochsner Aortic Center is strengthened by its subscription to Cydar Medical. The Cydar technology allows clinicians to create detailed patient-specific 3D maps to plan out procedures, navigate surgeries with clear imaging and provide a post-operative review. The software reduces radiation exposure to the patient and the clinical team, reduces procedure time and improves outcomes. Dr. Clayton Brinster, director of the Ochsner Aortic Center and a vascular surgeon at Ochsner Medical Center, has completed the first Cydar case making Ochsner Health the first to use the technology in the Gulf South! Dr. Brinster says, “The Ochsner Aortic Center is a logical next step in furthering the hospital system’s rich legacy and bringing the latest groundbreaking technology here to Louisiana.”
