- Abstract:
- The aorta is the largest artery in the human body and the body's primary conduit for oxygenated blood. Therefore, it plays a crucial role in maintaining cardiovascular health. However, the structural integrity of the aortic wall can be compromised for various reasons, leading to a condition known as aortic dissection (AD). Aortic dissection is a potentially life-threatening condition that affects the aorta and is characterized by a tear of the aortic wall. This separation of layers of the aortic wall results in the formation of a false lumen within the vessel.
