Different types of Aortic Dissection

So, the different kinds of aortic section is really distinctly could be categorized as two, type A aortic section and type B aortic section and also called Stanford A and Stanford B aortic section. A is involving the portion of the aorta that is the closest to the heart within few inches of the heart or what's called the ascending aorta. That is A. And B, anything outside of that area that I just said is A, would be called type B, aortic section. The two types are important because type A tend to be an emergency and needs to go to the operating room immediately, and type B could be managed with medications in the hospital and then managed at home with the blood pressure medications and healthy lifestyle. This is not to say that type B never needs an operation. Occasionally type B aortic dissection could be presenting with evidence of rupture or inadequate blood flow to one of the organs and they would need an operation right away as well. you
