Sarah Nuttman, the first UK patient to have a surgical repair of her Aorta using the new Thoracoflo™ Aortic graft from Terumo Aortic, has been reunited with her surgeons at the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery Annual Meeting (SCTS2024) in Wales.  She has also been featured in the leading newspaper - here.
