Example
Aortic dissection is a medical emergency where there is a tear in the inner layer of the aorta, leading to blood leakage into the vessel wall.
Aortic regurgitation occurs when the aortic valve fails to close properly, causing blood to leak back into the left ventricle during each heartbeat.
Aortic surgery may be necessary to repair or replace damaged portions of the aorta, depending on the severity of the condition.
