Bicuspid Aortic Foundation Observes Thoracic Aortic Disease (TAD) Awareness 2011

In December, news reports chronicled the illness and hospitalization of Richard Holbrooke. Among them was one from the Washington Post on December 12th: “Special envoy Richard Holbrooke has surgery for tear in aorta.” The next day, December 13th, Richard Holbrooke died. In observing TAD Awareness 2011, the Bicuspid Aortic Foundation is committed to sharing information aimed at reducing the incidence of aortic emergencies and their too-often tragic consequences. - October 03, 2011
