aortic cardiologist | Dr Raghu

Aortic dissection is an aorta emergency. The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body. It takes the blood from the heart to the rest of the body. When a patient has aortic dissection, the aorta’s inner layer tears. Consequently, the blood enters the areas where it does not normally go. This can make the middle and the inner layers dissect or separate.
