Acute Aortic Dissection Open Access Articles

Aortic dissection (AD) happens when an injury to the deepest layer of the aorta allows blood to stream between the layers of the aortic wall, driving the layers separated.  In most cases, this is often related with a sudden onset of extreme chest or back pain, regularly portrayed as "tearing" in character. Too, vomiting, sweating, and light headedness may happen. Other side effects may result from diminished blood supply to other organs, such as stroke or mesenteric ischemia. Aortic dissection can rapidly lead to passing from not enough blood stream to the heart or complete rupture of the aorta. Management of AD depends on the portion of the aorta involved. Dissections that include the first part of the aorta as a rule require surgery.
