[Summary] => The aorta is composed of three layers and aortic dissections occur when the layers separate the way plywood will separate if left out in the weather.

When this occurs, patients typically experience severe pain in the chest or back. This most frequently sends patients to the emergency room where the diagnosis may be made.

Dissections may involve the ascending aorta, the descending thoracic and abdominal aorta, or the entire aorta. The risk of death depends on the extent of the dissection or rupture.
