Q

Management for Descending Aortic Dissection:

  • Rx (2)
  • When to Operate?
A

Rx:

  1. Beta Blocker IV
  2. Nitroprusside: always give BB first b/c this will cause reflex SNS activity which will increase LV output and shear stress on aorta

Operate:

  • If ascending component
  • If major branches are involved
