Referral, triage and rapid team activation

Aortic dissection care requires a team approach. Aortic specialists Drs. Cameron, Desai and Lyden discuss how acute aortic dissection patients are triaged and transferred to Cleveland Clinic; use of technology to bring together imaging, medical records and a team approach; transition of care to referring physicians; research and innovation related to pharmaceutical and surgical care; care of patients with connective tissue disorders; and follow-up involving digital-tele-health and imaging. Dr. Roselli joins at the end (after performing surgery) to wrap up this lively discussion.
