Description

This detailed visualization represents a Type IIIa aortic dissection, characterized by a tear originating in the descending thoracic aorta. The image captures the pathological separation between the true and false lumens, highlighting the flap of intimal disruption and the confined nature of this dissection to the thoracic region. Clinically relevant and anatomically accurate, this image serves as an exceptional resource for cardiologists, vascular surgeons, and medical educators seeking to demonstrate the subtleties of Type IIIa dissections.
