Miami Aortic Dissection Attorney

Aortic dissections are extremely serious and often deadly. It is critical to identify and repair them early in order to avoid major tearing, severe heart muscle trauma, and internal bleeding that could be fatal. When an aortic dissection is overlooked, misdiagnosed, or treated incorrectly by a medical professional, it is imperative that you consult with a medical malpractice lawyer experienced in handling these types of cases.

Symptoms of Aortic Dissections

A victim of an aortic dissection may feel:

• Stabbing back pain
• Heartburn
• A drop in blood pressure
• Waxing and waning overall pain
• Nausea

People that often present with these symptoms can easily be misdiagnosed by an emergency room physician/doctor or a general practitioner for any number of other conditions like a stroke because the common symptoms are so general. Also, people who have hypertension (high blood pressure) are at a greater risk for an aortic dissection so their physicians should be closely monitoring the patients’ cardiac health. This is exactly why extensive testing and close monitoring must be done when patients show these common signs so an aortic dissection can be discovered and treated properly.

Take Legal Action with the Help of Freidin Brown, P.A.

If an aortic dissection is discovered, the aorta must be repaired through surgery. If a surgical error occurs during an aortic dissection or during a surgery for an unrelated condition, we can help prove this mistake. Unfortunately, a failure to diagnose an aortic dissection timely can be fatal and we will help you pursue a wrongful death lawsuit if this happens and your loved one was not treated properly.
