Request an Appointment: Center for Aortic Disease
To get started, please schedule a free phone appointment with one of our new-patient navigators. You can do this online or by phone.
Your appointment will be scheduled with either the Cardiac Surgery Program or the Vascular and Endovascular Clinic, depending on the location of your aortic condition.
For ascending aorta conditions
If your condition involves the ascending aorta, please schedule your appointment with our Cardiac Surgery Program:

The ascending aorta is the portion of the aorta that extends upward from the heart’s aortic valve to the aortic arch.
For descending aorta conditions
If your condition involves the descending aorta, please schedule your appointment with our Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Clinic:
Vascular & Endovascular Surgery Clinic: (415) 353-2357
The descending aorta begins at the aortic arch and travels downward through the chest and abdomen.
