❤️ A little teaser for Think Aorta US's contribution to the 2026 Collaboration...

Bonit Sharma spent six days living with a Type A & B dissection before the right test finally revealed what was happening. He survived emergency surgery, additional procedures, strokes, and another open-heart surgery—and his story is ultimately about advocacy, resilience, finding doctors who listen, and making the most of the life he still has.

This is what real hope sounds like.

And this is why your story matters. ❤️
