Chronic aortic dissection requires surgery .
Because chronic aortic dissection does not cure the disease without surgery, it will cause other diseases, such as cardiac tamponade, acute left heart failure, and severe aortic insufficiency. Aortic dissection is a heart disease, which is mainly caused by a breach in the lining of the aortic wall, which will cause blood to enter the middle layer of the artery wall and form a dissecting hematoma.
Aortic dissection is to be treated with the help of stent surgery or surgical thoracotomy, so the patient should go to the hospital as soon as possible, and the patient should actively cooperate with the doctor when receiving treatment.
Recommendations are for reference only. If the problem is serious, please go to the hospital for detailed inspection
