I had a consult first with Dr. Pochettino(cardio-vascular surgeon)-just because my main reason for going to Mayo was my tortuous aorta with aneurysms on my aorta and left subclavian--the aberrant artery was just a chance finding on the MRI. Dr. Pochettino is the one who set me up with Dr.Bower (the vascular surgeon). I would say if your issue is just the aberrant artery then vascular surgeon would be where to start ? But everyone at Mayo was so helpful and nice-- I am positive if your case required another surgeon or dr. they would set all that up. I had almost like a case manager--she scheduled and set up all my appts. consults, labs, tests...she worked with each dr and had all of this set up before I even arrived at Mayo. So no going and seeing one dr. and being told I need to see another and come back. They take a very comprehensive and team approach. I had both surgeons and cardiologist already set up-- I did all my test and saw the three drs all in the same day. My suggestion when you reach out initially is call the appt number, describe your problems, more than likely she will connect you to the office you need, and get the process started- if Mayo is where you choose to go.

Best wishes,
