Acute aortic dissection care provides rapid emergency triage, aggressive hemodynamic stabilization, and emergent surgical or endovascular repair for life-threatening tears within the aortic intimal layer. In Kolkata, 24x7 aortic emergency teams and cardiothoracic surgeons manage Stanford Type A (ascending aorta) and Type B (descending aorta) dissections adhering to CSI and ESC aortic guidelines. Diagnostic pathways feature emergent multi-detector CT aortography (CTA) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to determine tear entry location, false lumen extent, and branch vessel malperfusion. Medical management initiates intravenous beta-blocker infusions to aggressively reduce heart rate below 60 bpm and systolic blood pressure below 120 mmHg. Emergent open surgical graft replacement is executed for Type A dissections, while TEVAR stenting treats complicated Type B cases. Aortic dissection emergency consultation fees in Kolkata range between a few hundred rupees upward, preventing fatal aortic rupture and cardiac tamponade.
