What complications can result from aortic dissection?

Aortic dissection can lead to:

• Stroke.
• Aortic valve damage.
• Damage to internal organs.
• Fluid buildup between the heart muscle itself and the sac covering the heart. This condition, called cardiac tamponade, puts pressure on the heart and prevents it from working properly.
• Death.
