Description

This striking image captures a dissection of the ascending aorta, clearly extending into the branches of the aortic arch. The visual impact of the cross-section reveals the layered structure of the arterial wall, dramatically highlighting the separation between the intima and media, a classic hallmark of an aortic dissection. Ideal for cardiothoracic training and vascular education, this high-resolution rendering bridges the gap between textbook theory and real-world anatomy. Whether used in surgical planning sessions or in visual aids for patient explanation, it offers both clarity and clinical relevance.
