The (IRAD) International Registry for Acute Aortic Dissection

Brief description of study

The purpose of this study is to collect information regarding your medical condition for a registry. The aim of the registry is to document a few important medical details of patients like you who were hospitalized for an acute aortic dissection. An aortic dissection is a serious condition in which a tear occurs in the inner layer of the body's main artery (aorta). Blood rushes through the tear, causing the inner and middle layers of the aorta to split (dissect). Based on the rarity of this disease and few guidelines regarding the most effective treatment for this disease, this registry aims to collect information from patients like you to study this disease. Patients from various hospitals in this country and in several other countries are being asked to participate. This information will help doctors understand more about acute aortic dissection. We believe this information will help to improve the treatment of patients like you in the future.
