The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body, and is responsible for distribution to smaller vessels within the body. A torn aorta many times, is a very severe medical condition in which the aorta becomes severed, hence causing major internal bleeding, and if not quickly corrected, ultimately death.

What is a separating aorta?
"Separating aorta" might refer to an aortic dissection. An aortic dissection is a life-threatening aortic condition in which the inner layer of the aorta is torn. This causes blood to collect in the space between the two layers. This blocks blood flow, causes the tear to enlarge and weakens the outer wall of the aorta, which can lead to this wall rupturing. Medical attention at a center specializing in aortic disease should be sought immediately for suspected aortic dissection.
