Yes : Typically you will require to be on anticoagulantion like Coumadin (warfarin) for around three to six months and blood pressure control . Most of the time the dissection will heal by itself. If you have symptoms of decrease blood flow to stomach or liver then patient may need surgery but this is rare.
