Explain of Cardiovascular Pathology

46.Aorta, dissection, microscopic

Here, the dissection went into the muscular wall. In any case, an aortic dissection is an extreme emergency and can lead to death in a matter of minutes. The blood can dissect up or down the aorta. Blood dissecting up around the great vessels can close off the carotids. Blood can dissect down to the coronaries and shut them off.
