Jose “Pepe” Alvarez Jr M.D. Memorial Lecture on Vascular Disease: Advancements in the Management of Aortic Dissection

May 17, 2022

Acute aortic dissection is the most common emergency affecting the human aorta, with high mortality and morbidity without appropriate and time-sensitive treatment. Based on data from the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD), patients with acute type B dissection composed approximately 33% of all dissection patients enrolled in the registry across a 17-year period. Management of acute type B dissection has evolved over time and now includes medical, surgical and endovascular therapies performed by several specialties, including vascular surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, interventional radiology and cardiology.

Please join Dr. Joseph Lombardi as he explores the new classification of type B aortic dissection and novel management strategies to improve patient outcomes.
