A Case of Ascending Aortic Dissection with Severe Aortic Regurgitation Diagnosed by Echocardiography
Aortic dissection refers to the separation of the aorta into a true and false lumen as the medial membrane of the aorta is torn along the long axis due to a high aortic pressure when a minute rupture occurs in the aortic lining.
