[Aortic dissection: new diagnostic and therapeutic trends]
Abstract:
The aortic dissection is a relatively infrequent, but very serious event, that needs to be always considered when a thoracic pain with symptoms of ischemia belongs to the origin of the dissection without signs of myocardial infarction. The most simple and commonly accepted classification, includes two variants, according to the Stanford University (A and B). This aspect is very important in order to the treatment which must be preceded by a suitable pharmacological approach followed in any case by the surgery. We outline the importance of the fast diagnostic knowledge and of the therapeutic choice in order to reduce the mortality that is still very high.
