Key result
Aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition requiring early diagnosis and prompt management, with treatment options including open surgical or endovascular procedures depending on the dissection type.
Why the study?
Aortic dissection carries high morbidity and mortality, making early diagnosis and immediate management vital for patient survival.
This review highlights the importance of early diagnosis and immediate management for the survival of patients with aortic dissection.
Aortic dissection is a rare occurrent condition involving the body’s main artery, the aorta, and carrying with it high morbidity and mortality. It is one of the conditions that fall under the term acute aortic syndromes. Although it is uncommon, it is hard to describe the true number of cases as most cases are based on autopsy reports. Therefore, to encounter this catastrophic condition, early diagnosis and immediate management are vital for the survival of patients. The goal was to review
