Aortic dissection is to be done Series of inspections.
Patients need to undergo a physical examination first, and then an imaging examination, such as echocardiography, CT examination, MRI examination, aortic angiography, etc. After the specific cause is clear, seek professional medical treatment. If the aortic dissection is not particularly serious, it can be treated by interventional surgery. But when the condition is more serious, thoracotomy is needed for treatment.
After the operation, the patient should go to the hospital for review on time. The review can determine the heart recovery well. If there are other abnormalities in the heart, they need to be treated again.
