Member Ian Lawrence & his wife celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary last weekend, 7 years since #Aortic surgeon Mr. Max Baghai (right) at King's College NHS saved his life after acute #AorticDissection. Now they are part of a team improving AD patient care in London. Congrats!


It's been a privilege to be involved in the national #AorticDissection Awareness Day UK event since its inception by Aortic Dissection Awareness UK & Ireland back in 2016. It's become a highlight of my year. Can't wait for #ADADUK23 on 19-Sep at Royal Papworth Hospital NHS FT 💙 and to announce our hosts for 2024 :-)

We are delighted to announce that we partnered with Aortic Hope to publish a US edition of our popular handbook, #AorticDissection: The Patient Guide. It is endorsed by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons and Vascular SVS and is available FREE online from today... AATS bit.ly/AD-ThePatientG…


We at Aortic Dissection Awareness UK & Ireland are so happy to see US patients now benefitting from our work too. Great respect to my good friend, AD survivor Cliff Grover, who led the team that devised and produced the original publication. Led by patients, for patients. That's us!

📣 We are delighted to announce the publication of our study examining mortality trends of aortic dissection and rupture in the UK, Japan, the USA, and Canada.🌐🔬 heart.bmj.com/content/early/… Subodh Verma Junichi Shimamura bobby yanagawa Marc Pelletier Aortic Dissection Awareness UK & Ireland

New paper finds mortality for #AorticDissection is decreasing in the UK, but increasing in the USA, Canada & Japan. Only the UK has a co-ordinated, patient-led national effort to tackle this issue.
