Valves in the heart may not close properly and may let blood leak backward. The aorta––the large artery that carries blood away from the heart out to the body––may stretch and enlarge, and it can burst. The aorta also can develop a tear in its inner wall. This tear can expand and block blood flow through the aorta. This is called aortic dissection.
