Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Jianbin
The fundamental treatment for abdominal aortic dissection is generally surgery. For example, surgery can remove the tear in the intimal flap to prevent massive hemorrhage. Secondly, patients who cannot tolerate surgery require symptomatic treatment. Patients with severe pain may be given morphine injections, while those with high blood pressure and heart rate should receive treatment to lower blood pressure and regulate heart rate.
