This may be late in answering but I just signed onto this site this evening. I just went through surgery a month ago due to having an Aortic Dissection. I was told that I did not have but a 5% chance of surviving the operation it was that severe. I can't tell much about it except for to search online for more information . I know that there are different stages.I hope that your mother is doing well and if this is not much help I am sorry. All I know is that it is somehting serious and something not to be ignored.
