The Team
The aortic team consists of specialist cardiac surgeons and cardiothoracic anaesthetists and other staff groups with an interest in treating aortic disease such as perfusionists (manage heart lung machine), surgical care practitioners (assist in surgery) and nurses in theatres and intensive care.
The wider team includes the clinical nurse practitioners (assist in ward care) and administrative and management support.
Extended Vascular Service
We have close working relations with Vascular Surgery and Interventional Radiology colleagues (specialists in X-ray techniques) in the region (Liverpool Vascular & Endovascular Service - LiVES) with regular discussion of complex multi-disciplinary cases as well as formal Multi-Disciplinary Team Meetings on a monthly basis. Joint operating on selected cases occurs frequently through the year.
