Dissection or "internal tearing" of the Ascending Aorta and Aortic Arch is a Lethal condition. only 10% of the patients will make it to Hospital. Early diagnosis is very important and Surgery has to be performed Emergently

Good Job Doctor Bassam. How long does the prosthesis used in this procedure survive in the living body?

@fadilto

The tube graft used is made of dacron and should stay for the patient's lifetime

My dad had this done, he was very lucky.

This is amazing! I am a survivor of two aortic dissections in two weeks. My first was an acsending, second desending. My doctors were amazing and said I was a miracle patient. I lived around 14 hrs. before surgery. All my thanks to the University of Chicago cardiac team for saving my life.

Can't imagine this would be easy with the heart beating, a lot better if it'd just stop and start on command

@Lachsfischli If your training to be a heart surgeon the videos on our channel might interest you, they are training videos directed at cardiothoracic surgeons

My husband suffered from an Aortic Dissention, and we didn't find out exactly what it was till a week later, where I took him to a Cardiologist after many failed attempts to find out what was wrong with him. The surgeon performed this exact surgery, synthetic tube and all, and was released just 5 days after! It's truly a miracle.....thank you for sharing this Dr. Bassam; it was so very informative. And thank YOU for helping those in need!!!

EXCUSE ME SIR ... WHERE DID YOU COME FROM? AND THANKS ALOT FOR THIS VIDEO :)

[MrGuania]

Amazing of what humans can do to safe the lives of other humans.

[Lachsfischli]

thank you for this video sir.

i intend to become a heart surgeon myself one day, but its still a long way (third year med student).

did i get that right, the sutures and the glue are strong enough to make the vessel leakproof? thats impressive.

"shouldnt" there be more blood in the pericardium due to the enormous bloodpressure?

id be glad to hear from you.

regards from switzerland
