Monitoring
Ensure that imaging of the aorta is performed before discharge.[5]
The time intervals recommended for surveillance imaging with computed tomography angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in patients with chronic aortic dissection vary across guidelines and should be tailored for individual patients.[5]
Recommendations from the European Society of Cardiology on surveillance time intervals vary according to the type of intervention performed (e.g., thoracic endovascular aortic repair versus open surgery).[2]
