A UNC patient will be the first in the country to undergo the placement of an A-A-A Endograft. The surgery will be performed tomorrow by Dr. Mark Farber<\/a>, an associate professor and program director of the vascular surgery fellowship at UNC. Dr. Farber says the new device enables the medical field to treat more patients suffering from Aneurysms in a less invasive way.<\/p>\n

The device is properly called an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (A-A-A) Endovascular Graft, and it was approved by the FDA for clinical trials in November 2008.\u00a0 Another advantage of this new device, Farber says, is that the size offers a decreased chance of damaging the artery.<\/p>\n

Although tomorrow\u2019s\u00a0surgery is the first of its kind, Farber says it is not that much different than performing the same surgery with a larger device, and adds that his patient qualifies as the perfect candidate for whom the device was created. Dr. Farber’s patient is a 61 year old African American female who works as a nursing assistant for a local agency and is the sole provider of two\u00a0grandchildren and one great-grandchild.<\/p>\n
