11. • Hypotension may be due to:
– Impending rupture
– Intrapericardial rupture with temponade
– LVF due to AR
– MI due to compromise in coronary perfusion

18. Type A
• Primary tear-Continuous suture
• AR if present
• Annuloaortic ectasia-Root replacement with
replacement of coronary ostia (composite
valve graft)
• Hemiarch replacement
• Total arch replacement
• Strict long term B.P control
19. Chronic Aortic Dissection
• Indications of Surgery:
– Symptomatic patients
– Asymptomatic with Dia. Of AA > 55mm
– Asymptomatic with Marfan Dia. Of AA>50mm
– Rate of expansion > 1cm/yr
20. Type-B
• Medical management
• Surgical replacement of DTA:
– Aortic rupture or impending rupture
– Impaired distal organ perfusion
– Persistent pain
– Refractory arterial HTN
– Progression or expansion of dissection
– Sizable localized false aneurysm
– Marfan syndrome
22. Indication of TEVAR
• >60 mm diameter or 2 times transverse
diameter of adjacent normal aortic segment
• Symptomatic regardless of size
• Growth rate of aneurysm to >3mm/yr
