The initial event of dissection of a cervico-cephalic artery is disruption of the intima and internal elastic lamina of the arterial wall, either by trauma or haemodynamic stress. Pulsatile arterial flow extends this tear longitudinally further into the media, even to subadventitial layer.

Retrograde False Channel Perfusion: A Complication of Cardiopulmonary Bypass during Repair of Dissecting Aneurysms [PDF]
The current surgical treatment of dissecting thoracic aneurysms that originate above the aortic valve and dissect distally (Type I—De Bakey [3]) requires cardiopulmonary bypass for repair of the proximal intimal tear and obliteration of the false lumen ...
