Useful Contacts

We've put together a list of useful contacts and resources for life after aortic dissection surgery.
It includes aortic centres across UK & Ireland and other organisations that may be able to offer help
and support along the way. We hope this list makes it easier to find the right contacts and
gives you a helpful starting point.
