Summary

This study will use cardiac MRI to track changes in heart structure and function in 40 patients who have had endovascular repair for aortic disease. Researchers will compare heart measurements taken before surgery and again at 6 and 12 months afterward. The goal is to understand how the heart remodels after this type of procedure.
