What is the history of Aortic Dissection?

The earliest fully documented case of aortic dissection is attributed to Frank Nicholls in his autopsy report of King George II of Great Britain, who had been found dead on 25 October 1760; the report describes dissection of the aortic arch and into the pericardium.[3][21] The term "aortic dissection" was introduced by the French physician J.P. Maunoir in 1802, and René Laennec labelled the condition "dissecting aneurysm".[3][22] London cardiologist Thomas Bevill Peacock contributed to the understanding of the condition by publishing two series of the cases described in the literature so far: 19 cases in an 1843 review, and 80 in 1863.[22] The characteristic symptom of tearing pain in the chest was recognized in 1855 when a case was diagnosed in life.[22]
Surgery for aortic dissection was first introduced and developed by Michael E. DeBakey, Denton Cooley, and Oscar Creech, cardiac surgeons associated with the Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, in 1954. DeBakey developed aortic dissection himself at age 97 in 2005,[3] and underwent surgery in 2006.[23] Endovascular treatment of aortic dissection was developed in the 1990s.[3]

The first case of aortic dissection described was in the examination of King George II of Great Britain following his death in 1760. Surgery for aortic dissection was introduced in the 1950s by Michael E. DeBakey.[3]
there have been many famous cases since with many illustrious names such as deBakey making medical history.
many famous and not so famous people have been taken from us due to Aortic Dissection, none I believe to be more important than any other.
We are all equal.

I don't know the entire history of AD however You could ask KIng George V , or Lucille Ball the comic, or Maybe Albert Einstein, more recently Actors John Ritter and ALan Thicke, Porn Star Ron Jeremy (is Still with us)

2 generations ago People died of Aortic disease period they had no idea why or what cause it , you didn't know what it was when it happened... and it wasn't Until very recently with Ultrasound , sonigrams and later MRI & CT 's that allow them to be seen...did anyone catch on ... if it was found during Open heart surgery they would attempt repairs which is impossible to do , like replacing a auto Radiator hose with the car Running (your gonna get wet) until Dr Michael Debakey, a former Army surgeon in practice in Texas used a Heart Lung Bypass machine to be able to actually stop the heart and allow the Blood to pump through the machine instead of the heart.... With time, Debakey expanded the group of Knowledge and experience with others also getting involved , increasing positive outcomes manyfold by cooling the blood and body well below normal human temperature which has been found to improve the brain cell function following surgery, Feel free to search Post Perfusion Syndrome

Unsure but there have been many famous sufferers worldwide

It was discovered in 1760

Aortic dissection was discovered the the late 1700’s during the autopsy of King George II in England. it was further written about in the 1800’s. The surgery for dissection was developed by doctors including Michael DeBakey, at Baylor in the 50’s. Dr. Stanley Crawford (my doctor in the late 80’s) pioneered surgical techniques for AD.
