Oh so sorry to hear that, @larrycouture
If you don't mind sharing, where there any warning signs? How did you know there was an issue?
I had a full dissection, and while they cleaned up the aneurysm and ascending aortic dissection, they left the descending dissection. I have an intrusion into the left kidney off the false lumen, and I was told that it may become a problem - but didn't tell me what to look for except "you might feel some pain".
I also have the dissection into the innominate artery. Not sure what to look for there.
