Aortic dissection is a medical emergency.  It must be treated surgically immediately.  A patient with unexplained chest or thoracic pain must be considered to be a possible aortic dissection.  Often, the signs and symptoms of aortic dissection are missed or misdiagnosed, resulting in unnecessary and preventable death.  Mistakes are often made in the emergency room.

If you believe that an aortic dissection was missed as a result of medical malpractice, you can get more information from the medical malpractice lawyers of Pennsylvania.
