Extra
Complete aortic rupture (i.e. transection of intima, media, and adventia) → rapid exsanguination and death
Incomplete aortic rupture (i.e. tear of intima +/- media) → false lumen, hematoma or flap, expansion of adventitia
UE hypertension with LE hypotension is similar to coarctation of aorta, therefore termed pseudocoarctation
CXR → mediastinal widening
Chest CT angigram (CTA) required for confirmation
