The coroner's concerns
1. aortic dissection
“I heard from Dr , a Consultant [name redacted] at Tameside general Hospital that aortic dissection is a well-recognised, but rare condition. It has some characteristic symptoms, but these are by no means definitively diagnostic.”
2. rupture of the aorta
“Rupture of the aorta following dissection as suffered by Mrs [name redacted] is a catastrophic event.”
