How a Torn Aorta Can Do Lethal Damage Wouldn't this sentence alone be self explanatory to anyone at all familiar with what an Aorta is?

Wouldn't this sentence alone be self explanatory to anyone at all familiar with what an Aorta is? It would be not self explanatory to the actual nature of the pathology in a dissecting aorta, IMHO. That's why I included the illustration in comment# 1. It could have been complicated by an aneurysm.

They’re talking about how a tiny tear, too small to do any harm by itself, can grow into a big one.

That was my impression. Is there anyone who doesn’t think a torn aorta is lethal?
