Dr. Lyle Joyce. Wisconsin. He is an old friend and former chief of thoracic surgery at Mayo in Rochester MN.
Dr. Anthony Perricone (Ret.) UCSD LA Jolla, CA. This is who did mine.
Any thoracic surgeon at Mayo with aortic expertise. This is a rare expertise so be patient. Minneapolis. San Diego. Houston. New York. Miami. Charlotte. Contact the Ritter Research Foundation. I’m guessing their website has a directory. Good luck. Peace.
@mb0926 I have an open general question . I have been searching for specialist surgeon who can repair my 5.5cm thorasic aortic aneurism.
I have encountered more that two “ sitting specialists “ in large medical facilities - the put me through all the costal scans and tests and then review the results and want to refer me to someone suitable to do the surgery. !!! They seem to do no surgeries themselves - just earn a fancy living passing people like me around for repeated CT scans, ultrasounds etc .
Is there a national / regional data base of surgeons listed by name, experiences and number of specific surgeries carried out with successful results/ failed results ? What organisation keeps track? How can we know if a surgeon has ever done a surgery like I need ? I am starting to doubt what they say . What they can/ cannot do? Why are they allowed to practice and not do surgeries ? Just profess to be experts ! Welcome your comments . Become sicker and sceptical!!!!!!
@rl1 can the admin for this page share the answer to this. My husbands vascular specialist / surgeon referred us to a vascular surgeon who was recognized as the best in NC. He just left for new orleans 🥺so we are starting over with the next best in our state ( with concerns). Most of these surgeons are part of vascular surgeon groups which is how they learn about those who are performing special procedures. It does matter to them. Our insurance so far would not allow for out of network. So no out of state.

@mb0926 If I were in North Carolina, I would contact the cardiovascular unit at Duke.
