James' PEARS surgery
James’ story
Follow Mr Conal Austin, Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon, into cardiac surgery where he is able to fix James’ dilating aorta (at the root).
About PEARS Surgery
At London Bridge Hospital, we perform the ground-breaking ExoVasc® Personalised External Aortic Root Support (PEARS) procedure.
This involves the creation of a bespoke, external aortic root support produced to exact proportions using CT images and a 3D printer. The surgeon then precisely fits this sleeve to the patient’s aorta to treat the dilating aortic root.
