What is Aortic Dissection?

An aortic dissection is a tear in the wall of the aorta, the body’s largest artery. It causes blood to fill between the layers of the aorta, depleting oxygen and nutrients required for organs to function. This is a life-threatening emergency requiring immediate surgical intervention. Without surgery, ascending aortic dissection has nearly 100% mortality within a week.​

Traditional vs Minimally Invasive Options

Open-Heart Repair: Traditional method requiring full sternotomy (chest opening). Used for ascending aortic or aortic arch dissections. Surgery duration: 4-8 hours. Hospital stay: 5-10 days.​

Endovascular Repair (EVAR/TEVAR): Less invasive approach recommended for patients who may not be strong enough for open-heart surgery or for descending aortic dissections. Procedure duration: 2-3 hours. Faster recovery.​
