Specifically, tactical equipment involves any type of gear that could be used in the performance of combative operations. Now, this description seems like a catch all, umbrella term and, to a great extent, it is. This is because the sheer volume of items that comprise tactical equipment is quite vast and varied.
Blood clots in the aorta is another complication. When an aneurysm develops, it can damage the wall of the aorta. The damage leads to clot formation. A blood clot can narrow the aorta and slow down blood flow to the rest of the body. Pieces of the blood clot can break off and get stuck in the bloodstream.
Aortic regurgitation (AR) is the diastolic flow of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle (LV). Regurgitation is due to incompetence of the aortic valve or any disturbance of the valvular apparatus (eg, leaflets, annulus of the aorta) resulting in the diastolic flow of blood into the left ventricular chamber. Abnormalities of the ascending aorta, in the absence of valve pathology, may also cause AR.
