For every hospital with a cardiac surgery program — and every cardiology practice following patients with aortic aneurysms. The platform gives both a standardized way to counsel surveillance patients and move them to timely, planned intervention, before a crisis forces the issue.
“32% cumulative risk over 10 years is more compelling than a verbal estimate.”
Patients who see their own trajectory engage in shared decision-making — and commit to timely intervention.
Most aortic aneurysm patients are followed for years in cardiology surveillance before surgery is ever discussed. That gap between "aware" and "scheduled" is exactly where a plannable case turns into an emergency — and where a cardiologist has no standardized way to convey evolving risk. For the hospital, cardiac surgery is a top service line only when cases are planned; emergency dissection revenue is DRG-capped, often a loss, and the OR disruption cost is real.
Aortic Sciences gives cardiologists and surgeons a tool that has never existed at the point of care: a personalized, year-by-year risk projection grounded in the same evidence base that informs ACC/AHA guidelines. The cardiologist gains a standardized way to counsel and refer; the surgeon receives a patient who already understands why timely repair matters. Patients who see their own trajectory engage in shared decision-making — and commit to timely intervention.
