Sentence examples for medial layers from inspiring English sources

The intimal tear extends to a variable degree within the aortic media without significant separation of the medial layers and does not result in a second flow channel, as seen in classic AD [13].

'Cystic media necrosis' is the common end path of various acquired and genetic conditions weakening the medial layers of the aorta leading to the breakdown in the integrity of the aortic wall, which precedes AD [10].
