Dissecting Aortic Aneurysm treatment in Celaya

When faced with intense, sudden chest or back pain, described as tearing, it is essential to seek urgent medical attention, since it may correspond to a dissecting aortic aneurysm, a serious situation that affects the body's main artery.

A dissecting aortic aneurysm occurs when the wall of the aorta tears and blood leaks between its layers, weakening the artery.

Warning signs:

• Sudden, very strong pain in the chest, back, or abdomen.
• A feeling of faintness, sweating, or difficulty breathing.

Associated factors: long-standing high blood pressure, disorders of the vessels, and history that affects the arterial wall.

Which specialist treats it? It is an emergency evaluated by the emergency physician, the vascular or cardiovascular surgeon, and the angiologist, with support from the radiologist. If these symptoms appear, going immediately to an emergency department is the priority.
