Advancing Minimally Invasive Care

Authorities on many of the newest treatment methods, we're constantly finding ways to improve them. At Temple, between 85% and 90% of all aortic procedures are done with minimally invasive techniques. This means often a shorter hospital stay and less recovery time for the patient.
