Overview
Atherosclerosis and hypertension are associated with spontaneous aortic dissection, while blunt trauma and sudden deceleration in a motor vehicle accident are major causes of traumatic aortic dissection.
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition and must be treated as such irrespective of the causes. Life-threatening conditions may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
Common Causes
- Atherosclerosis
- Complication of cardiac procedures
- Chest trauma
- Connective tissue disorders
- Hypertension
- Vasculitis[1]
