Aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition characterized by a tear in the innermost layer of the aorta (tunica intima), permitting blood to enter and separate the intima from the aorta’s middle layer (tunica media). This event creates a false lumen (FL) alongside the true lumen (TL) of the aorta. Typically, the FL is larger with less flow/pressure than the TL; however, additional tears in the aorta can permit the re-entry of blood into the FL.
