What are the best treatments for Aortic Dissection?
See the best treatments for Aortic Dissection here
For type A in the ascending aorta closest to the heart - it is surgery. For abdominal dissections medication and treatment in intensive care can be enough, or that in compbination with endovascular repair can be sufficient.

Well in my case, churgery was the only option

Surgery. TEVAR. Pain medication will not help. Was administered Morphine and Phentanyl and it was no help. An immediate EKG and enzyme blood test was immediately performed. Blood test negative for heart attack. EKG was inconclusive and appeared normal. Xray and CT Scan proved dissection.

Acute aortic dissection can be treated surgically or medically. In surgical treatment, the area of the aorta with the intimal tear is usually resected and replaced with a Dacron graft.
Emergency surgical correction is the preferred treatment for Stanford type A (DeBakey type I and II) ascending aortic dissection. It is also preferred for complicated Stanford type B (DeBakey type III) aortic dissections with clinical or radiologic evidence of the following conditions:
• Propagation (increasing aortic diameter)
• Increasing size of hematoma
• Compromise of major branches of the aorta
• Impending rupture
• Persistent pain despite adequate pain management
• Bleeding into the pleural cavity
• Development of saccular aneurysm
Cautions and relative contraindications to surgery include the following:
• Cerebrovascular accident (CVA)
• Severe left ventricular dysfunction
• Coagulopathy
• Pregnancy
• Previous myocardial infarction (<6 months)
• Significant arrhythmias
• Advanced age
• Severe valvular disease
Medical management remains the treatment of choice for descending aortic dissections unless they are leaking or ruptured.

Medical management was and remains the best way to treat my Type B Dissection,

The best means to treat AD to keep or lower The blood pressure, reduce and monitor Blood cholesterol, the idea to limit the negative effects of both to the arteries and veins, unless one is subject to Genetic issues (connective issues) Such as Loey dietz or Marfans syndrome Which might only be learned After genetic testing, one might find that a surgical intervention which is typically done with Open surgeries is also on a very limited basis done via endoscopic procedure if caught soon enough .... Obviously, the least intrusive Manner would be best.... One must consider Ones potential of being affected Long term if any relatives have suffered any effects of the genetic issues that are known to case AD

Immediate surgery is the only real treatment with excellent care to follow

It depends on what type of dissection you are going thru. I was put into an induced coma.
Posted Mar 2, 2018 by Mark 600
That is dependent of what type and how serious the dissection is. Surgery is not always used. All dissections are treated with a low bloodpreassure treatment.

Surgery, Kee bp low . Below 120s/70s, diet exercise allwork together to get you on your feet,again

In my case, the only viable treatment was emergency surgery to replace my aortic valve and repair my ascending aorta with a dacron graft.

Having an experienced team of medical professionals. A cardiac surgeon to repair heart valves and aortic arch. A vascular surgeon to monitor the aorta through ct scans and mri. If problem found the operate to repair reinforce the aorta. A cardiologist to monitor blood pressure and heart functions through echocardiogram and blood pressure tablets. A psychologist specialising in ptsd to aid emotional recovery. An exercise psychologist to prepare a physical rehabilitation program then to monitor and control your progress

Positive thinking (frame of mind) and walking, just walking.

After two surgeries (ascending and descending) at Baylor Methodist in 32 years ago, I was not given much direction on further treatments. At that time, there were only a few hospitals that were successfully able to do this surgeries and I think they didn’t look beyond just having a patient live. My doctor was Stanley Crawford, a partner of Michael DeBakey, and the developer of a surgery that doctors still use today. I think that one of the most effective advice for a patient is to start physical therapy as soon as possible. No one told me that and I probably would not have had some of the problems that are still with me currently. I also had no other people with AD to talk to. With the internet and support groups I have learned much and can relate to many of the members problems;
so, yes, I would consider this as a positive treatment.

For type A dissection immediate surgery is done.
For type B dissection, medical treatment such as bloof pressure pills to control the internal pressure of the blood.
For complex type B dissection, hen an aneurysm develops, then surgery is performed, to insert a TEVAR or other device to replace the damaged aorta.
