This playlist compiles videos discussing what aortic dissection is, risks and benefits of treatment, types of treatment options, shared decision making, classifications, and awareness.

This video discusses the process of diagnosis for aortic dissection and which methods are more reliable that others.

This video discusses the use of ultrasound for aortic aneurysm detection, where it is effective, and where it is ineffective. For thoracic aneurysm, CT is more effective as explained.

This video delves into the journey individuals may encounter when screened for an aneurysm. It discusses screening, tests, multidisciplinary team decision making, and treatment options based on the individual's overall clinical capabilities.

Here I talk about the difficulties associated with diagnosing thoracic aortic aneurysms due to their asymptomatic nature. However, symptomatic similarities with can be mistaken for pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, pneumonia and gastroesophageal reflux disease, meaning it is difficult to determine without diagnostic measures.

This discusses the diagnosis and prevention management pathway, emphasising the importance of awareness.
