Other aneurysm and dissection - what does this mean
Other aneurysm and dissection is a condition where the walls of the aorta become weakened and can tear, leading to a rupture or the formation of a bulge in the wall of the aorta. this can cause blood to leak out of the aorta, leading to a decreased blood supply to the organs and tissues of the body. if left untreated, it can lead to severe complications, including death.
What happens during the disease - other aneurysm and dissection
The pathogenesis of other aneurysm and dissection is typically caused by a combination of factors, including genetic predisposition, hypertension, atherosclerosis, cystic medial necrosis, connective tissue disorders, and trauma. these conditions can weaken the walls of the arteries, leading to aneurysm formation and dissection of the arterial wall.
