What is the life expectancy of someone with Aortic Dissection?
Life expectancy of people with Aortic Dissection and recent progresses and researches in Aortic Dissection
It depends on all the other medical aspects of a patient. Age, heart, blood vessels, remaining dissections, heart valves, other diseases. For some cases the life expectancy is as for any other person. For others the life expecancy is short. Life is here and now. Live every day as the gift it is to you.

I'm not sure. I'm still alive with a careful diet and mild exercise, despite still having an active dissection.

Viele Faktoren von jeden einzelnen Betroffenen Menschen spielen eine Rolle. Wichtig ist die lebenslange Einnahme der Medikamente, eine gute Ernährung und sich nicht zu überlasten. Stress darf nicht mehr zum täglichen Begleiter gehören!

Life expectancy will differ amongst all patients/survivors of Aortic Dissection.
It affects and leaves survivors with varried disabilities,
There are survivors within the AD Community that have surpassed twenty five years with others sadly not makin 12 months.
My advice is to keep to a healthy lifestyle and to take each day as a good one.

Life expectancy? i would say it depends on how old you were when diagnosed ... I have lived 8 years so far and I don't intend on dying any time soon I'm aware of Children who suffered AD I would hope they live more then the 9 years since they were diagnosed Life expectancy depends a lot on whether or not you choose to improve your existence or not .... IF you don't care about your self Your health who should?

I don't think this is a helpful question to ask. Assume you have to make the most of your life but there maybe no reason you are not around for a long time and a good time!

The life ex pectamcy can be normal as long as awareness of limitations are watched. Very good health systems and continual surveillance of our condition can make a huge difference

Keep checking up on your heart and blood preassure and you will live a long good life

It is a foolish question! The answer to this question, often found on the net, is what worried my wife the most during the first year of my dissection.
The correct answer is that it is possible to live a long life with AD.

Once you are repaired you have a long life ahead of you. Yes, your aorta may dissect again where it hasn't been repaired. This is probably an increased risk for you, but if you keep your blood pressure nice and low, you will be fine.

Several answers to this, mostly with the proviso "it depends".
Firstly, if you have dissected and are NOT diagnosed with an AD (and it is a difficult diagnosis), life expectancy falls rapidly - roughly 1% per hour mortality. i.e. in 2 days half of sufferers will have succumbed. If found and treated I think the stat is something like 70% survival at 1 year.
Also depends on whether it is type A or type B, age, blood pressure, cofactors such as aortic valve problems, whether the tear affects side blood vessels to legs, kidneys, brain, eyes, heart etc.
If you are repaired well by an expert surgeon, there is a good chance you will lead a life pretty much as long as it might have been anyway, and hopefully even with a similar activity profile.
Much better though if you are operated on before dissection, at the aneurysm stage.

If the condition is undiagnosed then life expectancy is less than five percent. If it’s diagnosed early enough and it is a controlled condition then prognosis is up to 50%. If it’s an emergency Dissection about 2% survive the operation. Many have strokes on the operating table. The operation can affect your kidneys, liver and brain. You may lose motor functions as the aorta is close to the spinal column. If you survive the operation you my dissect again and the chances of surviving that operation come into play. If you survive the operation and your aorta is repaired/reinforced you may lead a average life expectancy for you age and weight.

That depends on the complications and if there are other sicknesses involved

I am living fully five and a half years after AD. My neurologist asked me if I understood that my unrepaired ?Type B could either rupture or require surgery in the future and did I understand that despite my anticoagulants my dissected carotid could throw out a clot. I do understand. He went on to assure me that based on what he saw today he expects me to live a long time. I am now 65. My mom died at almost 87 with an AD. My younger brother dissected three years ago. Who knows? So I chose to continue working till recent retirement, and we travel. A lot. And just got a puppy

I don't know. Im 36. Maybe 37?
Posted May 13, 2019 by Chris 1600
If AD is not diagnosed and is an emergency situation, life expectancy can be very short. But if the patient makes it through surgery, life expectancy increases greatly. Again, I was 37 when I had an AD, and I am now 70 years old.
I would hope that this would give others hope.
I have to say that it is very important to try and stay healthy by taking some obvious precautions. Things like flu, pneumonia and tetanus shots, to name a few, are so important! I find that when I do get sick, it effects me much more than the average person.

Difficult to answer, but it is important that you check your condition frequently / annually (CT)

I started on COPD Herbal treatment from Ultimate Health Home, the treatment worked incredibly for my lungs condition. I used the herbal treatment for almost 4 months, it reversed my COPD. My severe shortness of breath, dry cough, chest tightness gradually disappeared. Reach Ultimate Health Home via their em ail at [email protected] . I can breath much better and It feels comfortable!

One to five years. The dissection could continue to grow longer or into other areas.
Posted Apr 2, 2022 by Larry 2550
So far 9 months. Type B, no surgery and the abdominal/thoracic dissection begins in the aortic arch (lower portion) and extends to the right medial iliac (hip).
Walking dead man but I feel great. Working almost full time, golfing (better than ever) and closer to 81 years of age.
Good thoughts, appetite and exercise but NO heavy lifting.
Life is good …. the alternative…. not so much.
