Abstract

Aortic dissection is a critical condition, which can affect the aorta over its entire length. Characterized by a split between the tunica intima and the tunica media of the aorta, aortic dissection is seen in both sexes, and diagnosis and treatment are decisive for the survival of the patient. Aortic dissection has a wide range of risk factors that contribute to it being one of the most serious of cardiovascular conditions. Diagnosis is based on a thorough knowledge of the condition and its risk factors. This review describes the patient characteristics, drugs, and medical procedures that may contribute to an increased risk of aortic dissection, raising awareness of this life-threatening condition.
