Aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition in which a tear forms in the inner wall of the aorta, causing blood to split between the vessel's layers and creating a dangerous false channel. The type of dissection — classified as Stanford Type A (involving the ascending aorta) or Type B (confined to the descending aorta) — determines the treatment pathway. Type A dissections are surgical emergencies requiring immediate open repair, while uncomplicated Type B dissections are often managed first with intensive blood pressure control and medication. For Type B dissections with complications, or those at high risk of progression, a minimally invasive procedure called TEVAR (Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair) is now the preferred approach at most major centres. All pathways share a lifelong phase of strict blood pressure management, regular imaging surveillance, and cardiovascular rehabilitation.
Hospital-based intensive medication therapy using intravenous then oral blood pressure drugs to stabilise the dissection — typically the starting point for uncomplicated Type B dissections that do not require immediate surgery.
