Arterial dissections become life-threatening when growth of the false lumen prevents perfusion of the true lumen and the related end organs. For example, in an aortic dissection, if the left subclavian artery orifice were distal to the origin of the dissection, then the left subclavian would be said to be perfused by the false lumen, while the left common carotid (and its end organ, the left ...

[1] [2] This disorder is the cause of 20% of thoracic aortic aneurysms [3] [4] Some families affected by this condition have shown mild versions of some symptoms that are associated with Marfan syndrome and Loeys-Dietz syndrome , these signs include tall stature, joint hypermobility , cutaneous stretch marks , and either pectus excavatum or ...
Between the mobile ascending aorta and the relatively fixed descending thoracic aorta is the aortic isthmus.
