aortic dissection

     

Aortic issection is a tear in the wall of the aorta that causes blood to flow between the layers of the wall of the aorta and force the layers apart. Aortic dissection is a medical emergency and can quickly lead to death, even with optimal treatment. If the dissection tears the aorta completely open (through all three layers) massive and rapid blood loss occurs. Aortic dissections resulting in rupture have an 80% mortality rate, and 50% of patients die before they even reach the hospital. If the dissection reaches 6cm, the patient must be taken for emergency surgery. The surgery to repair a dissection takes about 20 hours. The patient would be in a drug induced coma for 3 days.
