    This study evaluated the diagnostic potential of non-obstructive general angioscopy (NOGA) in identifying characteristics linked to aortic dissection (AD).

  • 2

    Fifty-six patients with AD and 444 control patients with coronary artery disease were included in this single-center, cross-sectional observational study.

  • 3

    Intramural blood (IB) was identified as the most significant spontaneously ruptured aortic plaque injury associated with AD.

  • 4

    Machine learning techniques, including Random Forest and LASSO regression, were utilized to analyze and interpret the relationships among SRAPIs.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that aortic injury in AD may involve complex pathophysiological mechanisms, warranting further validation in larger studies.
