Aortic Aneurysm/Dissection - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This stock medical exhibit compares multiple lateral (side) views through a heart with aortic dissection and a heart with tamponade. A rupture in the aortic root dissection can be seen with hemorrhage filling the space between the pericardium and the heart resulting in cardiac tamponade. A small inset demonstrates the layers of an artery wall with the process of dissection in greater detail.
