Patient's question:
Recently, I often fainted at home, so the children were worried and took me to the hospital for a check-up. The results showed that I have an aortic dissection with a vascular aneurysm. That's why I often feel dizzy and even faint. I would like to ask the doctor if surgery is required for an aortic dissection with a vascular aneurysm?Doctor's answer:
Aortic dissection combined with an aneurysm is a very serious vascular disease. The aorta is the first vessel that pumps blood from the heart. It plays an important role in delivering blood to various parts of the body. If the blood vessel is damaged, it can easily lead to severe consequences, such as sudden death. Rescuing is also very difficult. Currently, you have symptoms of syncope, which is a lack of blood supply to the brain. It is recommended to perform an operation immediately after assessing your former condition.
