The aorta, the body's primary artery, consists of three layers. When the innermost layer becomes compromised, it can tear, causing blood to flow between the inner and middle layers, which leads to an aortic dissection. This condition is often triggered by high blood pressure and poses a serious risk, necessitating urgent surgical treatment.
