because of the intimal flap which ultimately will reduce the force of the blood flowing and also the amount(probably) so there will be less BP in one arm and branches for the right arm usually branch off ahead of the most common site of aortic dissection. hope i cud help...although i know i dont teach well maybe someone else will come along and improve on this.
