Dr. Dinesh Kumar Mittal explains how to recognise acute aortic dissection, a tear in the aortic wall that kills half of untreated type A patients within 48 hours, and how CT angiography, emergency surgery for type A and blood pressure control or TEVAR for type B change that outcome. He also sets out what referring doctors and developing aortic programmes can do to get patients to surgery in time.
