The Patient Guide was created by the community, for the community. The Aortic Dissection Awareness UK & Ireland team of survivors, caregivers, and medical professionals worked tirelessly for a year to create this Patient Guide. Aortic Hope and Think Aorta US are honored to have been given permission to bring it to the United States.
This Patient Guide contains the answers to many questions you have. The goal of this Patient Guide is to try to provide clear, easy-to-understand information for you and your loved ones. We suggest you review the Table of Contents first and then focus on the topics that might be most import to you based on where you are in your recovery journey.
Don't forget to share this Patient Guide with your loved ones as it will not only educate them on what you are experiencing but will also validate and hopefully alleviate some of their questions and concerns.
