How is it done?
The preferred treatment is immediate surgery. The doctor will replace the weakened part of the artery with a graft made of artificial material, and is carried out with the help of heart lung machine on many occasions. Depending on the location of the aneurysm/dissection, aortic valve may have to be replaced in some situations. The coronary arteries may also have to be implanted on the new graft for continued blood supply to heart.

After surgery, blood pressure and other vital signs will be monitored in the recovery room set up.
