A new multidisciplinary clinic at Beaumont Hospital Royal Oak's Ernst Cardiovascular Center, which opened Jan. 24, will offer lifelong services for patients with aortic aneurysms and dissections.
The clinic offers minimally invasive surgery, genetic testing for high-risk patients and lifelong follow-up.
