A review of 50 cases of acute dissection of the aorta managed over a period of almost 15 years showed that patients with either proximal or complex dissections had a better prognosis when managed surgically, whereas medical treatment offered a better change of survival in patients with distal dissection. Angiography was generally safe and reliable, most cases being correctly diagnosed by this means. The majority of patients can be managed conservatively in the initial stages.

The current approach to treatment at St. Mary's Hospital of dissecting aortic aneurysms uses a period of induced hypotension before aortography and consideration for surgical correction. There are 13 survivors of a series of 24 patients treated in this way.
