Acute Aortic Dissection

An Acute Aortic Dissection is a life-threatening emergency where the inner layer of the aorta tears, causing blood to flow between the layers of the arterial wall. If untreated, it can lead to aortic rupture, organ failure, stroke, or death. Germany is a global leader in emergency cardiovascular surgery, offering rapid surgical interventions, minimally invasive endovascular repair (TEVAR), and advanced hybrid aortic repair techniques to ensure high survival rates and long-term aortic stability.

At WEGOVITA, we connect patients with Germany’s top aortic surgeons, specialized heart & vascular centers, and cutting-edge hospitals to provide immediate and expert care for acute aortic dissections.


📍Phase 1: Emergency Management & Pre-Surgical Stabilization

  • ✅ Immediate hospitalization in Germany’s leading aortic surgery units.
  • ✅ Continuous blood pressure control with intravenous medications.
  • ✅ Advanced CT angiography & echocardiography to confirm dissection type.
  • ✅ Pre-surgical planning with vascular & cardiac surgery teams.
💰Estimated Cost for Emergency Stabilization: €5,000 – €15,000

📍Phase 2: Surgical Treatment Options for Acute Aortic Dissection

The choice of treatment depends on the dissection’s location and severity.

1. Type A Aortic Dissection (Ascending Aorta) – Emergency Open Surgery

  • ✔️ Emergency Open Aortic Repair – The damaged aorta is removed and replaced with a synthetic graft.
  • ✔️ Aortic Valve & Root Replacement (if needed) – Performed if the aortic valve is compromised.
  • ✔️ Procedure Duration: 6-10 hours under general anesthesia, often requiring heart-lung bypass support.

💰 Estimated Cost for Type A Open Aortic Surgery: €60,000 – €120,000

2. Type B Aortic Dissection (Descending Aorta) – Endovascular Repair (TEVAR)

  • ✔️ Transcatheter Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) – A stent graft is inserted via a catheter in the groin to reinforce the weakened aorta.
  • ✔️ Ideal for stable Type B dissections or patients unfit for open surgery.
  • ✔️ Procedure Duration: 2-4 hours under local or general anesthesia.

💰 Estimated Cost for TEVAR Procedure: €50,000 – €90,000

3. Hybrid & Robotic-Assisted Aortic Surgery

  • ✔️ Combines TEVAR and open surgery for complex aortic dissections.
  • ✔️ Used for patients with extensive dissections or connective tissue disorders (Marfan, Ehlers-Danlos).

💰 Estimated Cost for Hybrid & Robotic Surgery:€70,000 – €130,000

📍Phase 3: Post-Surgical Hospital Stay & Intensive Monitoring

  • ✔️ 14-21 days in a specialized aortic ICU for continuous monitoring.
  • ✔️ Post-surgical CT scans & echocardiography to confirm graft stability.
  • ✔️ Blood pressure management & early mobilization to prevent complications.
💰 Estimated Cost for Hospital Stay & Recovery: €10,000 – €20,000

📍Phase 4: Long-Term Rehabilitation & Aortic Monitoring

  • ✔️ 8-12 weeks of structured cardiac & vascular rehabilitation (in Germany or home country).
  • ✔️ Supervised physiotherapy, blood pressure control, and medication optimization.
  • ✔️ Lifelong imaging (CT or MRI every 6-12 months) to monitor the aortic graft.
  • ✔️ 24/7 telemedicine access for ongoing vascular monitoring.
💰 Estimated Cost for Rehabilitation & Follow-Up: €5,000 – €10,000
