"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.
