Aortic dissection: Aortic dissection = the large artery coming out of the heart has a tear in its lining. This can be a life-threatening emergency & require immediate surgical repair. Medical treatment after surgery would depend on the particular details of the patient, including the blood pressure, family history, & other issues. If access to follow-up is hard, consider a 2d opinion inbox consult to go over details
