Spontaneous Laceration of Ascending Aorta [PDF]
Circulation, 1973 Spontaneous laceration of the ascending aorta may result in (1) through-and-through laceration causing hemopericardium, (2) limited intramural dissection of blood (incomplete dissecting aneurysm), or (3) classical dissecting aneurysm. The latter is the most common manifestation.

Transforming growth factor serum concentrations in patients with proven non-syndromic aortopathy
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 BackgroundThe mechanism underlying aortic dilatation is still unknown. Vascular dilatation is thought to be the result of progressive aortic media degeneration caused by defective vascular matrix hemostasis, including TGF-β1 dysregulation.
