Aortic dissection about half the time it is due to bleeding into the pericardium leading to pericardial tamponade. Neurological complications of aortic dissection (i.e., stroke and paralysis) are due to the involvement of one or more arteries supplying portions of the central nervous system. If the aortic dissection involves the abdominal aorta, compromise of the branches of the abdominal aorta is possible. In abdominal aortic dissections, compromise of one or both renal arteries occurs in 5–8% of cases, while mesenteric ischemia (ischemia of the intestines) occurs about 3% of the time. People with an aortic dissection often have a history of high
