Aortic dissection is a relatively uncommon, though catastrophic illness of the
aorta with high rates of mortality if remain untreated. Aortic dissection is
called the separation of the intima from the media. It happens when a intimal
tear occurs, which allows the entrance of blood within the media and create a
false lumen. Aortic dissection is classified by its morphological
characteristics, according to Stanford classification to type A when ascending
aorta is involved and to type B when it isn’t. The basic clinical symptom is
chest pain, which is acute, tearing, with abrupt onset and localized in middle
line. Diagnosis is based upon screening exams, mainly non invasive, like CT,
MRI and TEE. Treatment is defined from the type of dissection, with type A to
be treated surgically and type B treated medically, unless complications are
presented, so the treatment is altered to surgical or endovascular.
Endovascular treatment includes either stent placement or/ and fenestration.
Endovascular treatment is the treatment of choice for complicated type B
dissection, as is associated with lower rates of complications and mortality
than surgical.
