An aneurysm, or ballooning of an artery, is often called a silent killer because it develops without any symptoms. Most aneurysms are discovered by accident during imaging scans that are performed for unrelated reasons.

Treatment and management of aneurysms have advanced rapidly in past decades, thanks in part to innovations pioneered by Barry T. Katzen, M.D., founder of the Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute at Baptist Health South Florida.  Dr. Katzen joins host, Jonathan Fialkow, M.D., for a discussion about state-of-the-art care and ongoing research at the Institute.
