The etiology and location of the lesion and distal flow to the lesion should be taken into consideration when planning the treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology Although the specific cause of the disease is not known, the lesion that generally is accepted as being precedent to dissecting aneurysm of the aorta is medial degeneration. [mdedge.com]
