Aortic dissection is a life-threatening medical emergency characterized by a tear in the inner layer of the aorta, the largest artery in the body. Tests such as a computed tomography angiography magnetic resonance imaging or echocardiography can visualize the aorta and identify the presence of dissection. Blood tests, including a complete blood count and measurement of cardiac enzymes, may help assess organ damage and overall health status. This condition requires prompt recognition and intervention due to its high mortality rate. Understanding its causes, symptoms, and treatment options is crucial for healthcare professionals and the general public alike. This article provides an overview of aortic dissection, discussing its etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic interventions. Minimally invasive procedures, such as endovascular stent grafting, may be performed to reinforce the aortic wall and restore blood flow.
