A collapsed aorta, often referred to as aortic rupture or aortic dissection, occurs when there is a tear in the inner layer of the aorta, causing blood to flow between the layers of the aortic wall. This condition can lead to a life-threatening situation, as it may result in severe internal bleeding or compromised blood flow to vital organs. Symptoms may include sudden, severe chest or Back pain, and immediate medical attention is critical. Treatment typically involves surgical intervention to repair or replace the affected section of the aorta.
