"Aortic dissection would lead to a ruptured aorta and death from blood loss"

A hemorrhagic stroke develops when an artery in the brain leaks or bursts and causes bleeding inside the brain tissue or near the surface of the brain.

An aortic aneurysm is a stretched and bulging section in the wall of the aorta. A bulging aorta is weakened and can burst, or rupture, resulting in life-threatening bleeding.
Similar?
Was she on blood thinners, was she on blood thickeners, was she on blood pressure medicines to treat the aneurysm which contributed to the stroke?

I guess you've shown that bursting veins in the brain and aorta are similar. Does that mean they are related?

You also seem to be saying that an aortic dissection is the same thing as an aortic aneurysm. Are they?
