Dissecting aneurysm ... is a lesion which occurs when blood is forced through an intimal defect into the wall of an artery, under arterial pressure. This may lead to extension of a column of blood that may travel for a considerable distance along the arterial media, and separate the wall into two planes -- hence, the word "dissection." (Actually, the term "dissecting aneurysm" is a misnomer, since there is not actually an arterial dilatation. A more accurate term is "dissecting hematoma."). ... There are two ways to classify dissecting aneurysms according to their location. The simpler of these systems designates a dissecting aneurysm as "type A" if it involves the ascending aorta and "type B" if it is confined to the descending aorta. 1, record 3, English, - dissecting%20hematoma

El término aneurisma también se usa para una gravísima enfermedad, el aneurisma disecante. En realidad no se trata de un verdadero aneurisma sino de un hematoma disecante producido por una rotura de la capa íntima y parte de la capa media de la arteria, generalmente la aorta. Tras la rotura, la sangre pasa de la luz arterial al interior de la pared y la presión sanguínea va despegando y disecando las paredes. La arteria está dilatada en una zona pero la pared de dicha zona no contiene las tres capas de un verdadero aneurisma. La disección aórtica se produce por una enfermedad del colágeno que debilita la capa media y, con frecuencia, se asocia al Síndrome de Marfan(759. 82). 1, record 3, Spanish, - hematoma%20disecante
