So, if you are one of those patients who had aortic dissection due to the use of illicit drugs or cocaine, then my main advice to you is to stop using cocaine because if you had an event or an exception after using cocaine, then the likelihood of you having another one after using the drug again is high, and that may not be, or the prognosis may not be as good and could be really detrimental.
