I see a cardiothoracic surgeon at DUKE at Durham, NC. He came highly recommended by my PCP. He is known to be the AORTIC guru in the southeast. Personally, I like him very much as he is easy to talk with, is very thorough and always ask me if I have any questions, which I often do and we discuss those. On the day that I have an appoitment with him, my cardiac ultrasound is scheduled first, then I have my CT with contrast performed and then I see the cardiothoracic surgeon to review those test results. I really like the fact that the Cardiac CT photos are reported out in a 3-4 dimensional picture so that I can visualize the aneurysm and its size. I leave the office appointment with all the printed & diagram reports in hand for my reference and my test results are electronically transmitted to my PCP and local cardioloigst. G. Chad Huges, IV, MD is my Duke Cardiothoracic surgeon. I have not had surgery yet and I am 77 years old.
