Therefore, investigating the mechanisms underlying AD pathogenesis and developing effective interventions are critically important. The pathological changes in AD primarily result from degeneration of the aortic media, leading to loss of elasticity and reduced resistance to mechanical stress, ultimately causing rupture of the medial layer and formation of a false lumen.
