A member asked:
For how long can someone live with aortic dissection without being hospitalized?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dissection: Aortic dissection is a life threatening condition but an occassional patient will have evidence for a past dissection without having been hospitalized. Extrapolating from history this can sometimes be a long time. We don't really know how often this happens but believe it to be rare.
