1 INTRODUCTION Aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular disease characterized by the delamination of the layers of the aortic wall. In an abrupt initial event, tissue layers rupture, creating a cavity and exposing the intralamellar space to blood pressure. This sequence of events results in a secondary flow channel, called the false lumen, which is separated from the original true lumen by an (initially) thin and flexible tissue layer called the dissection flap.
