Every week in the UK & Ireland over 70 people suffer an aortic dissection.
Every week, first responders, emergency departments and surgeons battle these complex cases to save lives, and the brightest minds work together to develop ground-breaking medical advances for patients and their families.
Every week is an opportunity for you to make a difference.
A better future for aortic patients starts here.
