What Causes Aortic Dissection?

Aortic dissection is a life-threatening emergency in which the inner layer of the aorta tears, allowing blood to surge between the vessel walls. It typically presents with sudden, severe tearing or ripping chest or back pain radiating to the back, and requires immediate surgical evaluation.
