Aortic dissection repair
Aortic dissection is a serious, life-threatening condition where a tear develops in the inner layer of the aorta, causing blood to flow between the layers of the vessel wall. It often presents with sudden, severe chest or back pain and requires immediate medical attention. At HeartBridge Surgical Network, we provide rapid diagnosis and advanced surgical or endovascular repair to restore aortic integrity and protect vital organ function.
An aortic dissection occurs when the inner layer of the aorta tears, causing blood to flow between the vessel layers. This can lead to severe chest or back pain, fainting, stroke, or even sudden death if not treated promptly. Many Nigerians face delays in diagnosis and lack timely access to advanced surgical care, increasing the risk of complications and reduced survival.
HeartBridge offers expert care for aortic dissection, tailored to each patient:
Precise Diagnosis – CT angiography and imaging to identify the tear and assess extent.
Emergency Surgical Repair – Open or endovascular repair to restore aortic integrity.
Hybrid & Minimally Invasive Options – Where suitable, advanced approaches reduce risk and recovery time.
Critical Care Support – Intensive monitoring and stabilization during and after surgery.
Comprehensive After-Care – Medication guidance, follow-ups, and rehabilitation for long-term health.
