Neurologic symptoms are related either to branch vessel obstruction, which may
be expressed as stroke or reduced consciousness when the carotid artery is involved, and as acute paraplegia when the blood supply to the spinal cord is obstructed. The latter is more common in distal dissection, but is still rare. Even rarer neurologic symptoms are caused by a mass effect of the enlarging aorta, and include Horner

syndrome, from compression of the superior cervical sympathetic ganglion, and hoarseness, from compression of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve.

Physical Exam
On physical examination, the patient may give a restless, agitated or apprehensive impression, and appear shocked, cold, clammy, with the sensation of imminent death. Tachycardia is almost always noted [2]. The rest of the ndings on physical examination depend on the location and extent of the dissection. While a history of hypertension is present in about 80% of patients, only 35.7% of type A dissection patients present with hypertension, while 24.6% are hypotensive, which can be caused by aortic valve insufciency, cardiac tamponade, or less commonly, coro­nary occlusion as a result of the dissection [1]. Moreover, if the dissection leads to malperfusion of the brachiocephalic vessels, brachial cuff pressures may be falsely depressed. Hypotension is rarely present in type B dissection, and is usually a sign of aortic rupture with hemothorax or hemoperitoneum.
On auscultation, a new onset diastolic decrescendo murmur points to the pres-
ence of aortic valve insufciency. This is noted in 31.6% of dissections, most of which are ascending dissections [1]. Prolapse of the cusp due to a single commis­sure being dissected affects leaet coaptation, which in some cases returns when the dissection spreads further proximally into the annulus. Aortic insufciency can also be due to a tear in the aortic root with prolapse of the entire valve. The murmur of dissection-related aortic valve insufciency is most commonly heard along the right sternal border (in contrast to pre-existent aortic valve insufciency, which is most commonly heard along the left sternal border). Auscultation might also reveal a pericardial rub or distant heart sounds, indicative of cardiac tamponade. Findings of pleural effusion, especially on auscultation of the left hemithorax, point to distal aortic rupture.
Obstruction of branch vessels by the dissection ap can lead to weak or absent
peripheral pulses, which is noted in 15.1% of patients [1]. These pulse decits of the carotid, brachial or femoral arteries are associated with upper or lower extremity and brain malperfusion, and are associated with an increased risk of mortality [6]. Leg ischemia is a marker of extensive dissection and may be accompanied by com­promise of other vascular territories. On the other hand, it is well known that pulse decits change in nature as the dissection expands distally and produces re-entries. Spontaneous return of pulses is noted in up to a third of patients with lower extrem­ity malperfusion [7]. Moreover, pulse decits are a quite specic nding and can thus lead to a swifter diagnosis of dissection. This could explain why pulse decits do not always lead to higher mortality.
The electrocardiogram is generally normal or shows nonspecic changes, which
is an important way to differentiate the cause of chest pain from myocardial isch­emia. However, in proximal dissections extending into the coronary ostia, S-T

segment and T-wave changes may be observed. Heart block can result from exten­sion of the hematoma into the aortic root, interatrial septum, and atrioventricu­lar node.
Laboratory tests are usually normal, or have non-specic changes. Mild anemia
and mild leukocytosis are not uncommon. In cases of hemothorax, important ane­mia can be detected. Bilirubin and lactic acid dehydrogenase levels may be increased due to hemolization of blood trapped within the false lumen. In cases of malperfu­sion syndrome, metabolic acidosis may be present, and renal malperfusion can lead to oliguria/anuria and microscopic hematuria. D-dimer is generally highly increased in acute dissection, so dissection can be reliably ruled out with D-dimer levels below a cut-off of 500ng/ml [8].
Differences inPresentation ofIntramural Hematoma andPenetrating Aortic Ulcer
There are few, if any, differences in presentation between intramural hematoma and aortic dissection [9], although patients with any kind of intramural hematoma appear less likely to present with pulse decits [10, 11]. Other differences with aor­tic dissection are that those with type A intramural hematoma are less likely to pres­ent with aortic regurgitation, and those with type B intramural hematoma are more likely to present with chest pain [10, 11]. Penetrating aortic ulcer (PAU) is still included in the acute aortic syndromes, although the typical PAU patient is elderly with hypertension, and generally does not present with symptoms, being diagnosed occasionally after CT scan. In these patients, pain can be present in those with impending PAU rupture, sudden diameter increase, or frank rupture. Due to the focal nature of the lesion, the thoracic pain, which is characteristic of all acute aortic syndromes, is usually not accompanied by signs of aortic valve insufciency, pulse decits, or neurologic decits [12].

Introduction
Acute aortic syndromes (AAS) characterize closely related life-threatening clinical conditions that include aortic dissection, intramural hematoma, and penetrating aor­tic ulcer. The suggested etiology of these conditions is pathologically different [1]. Although numerous classication systems have been proposed, rather than exhaus­tively list them all, the objective of this chapter is to highlight the most commonly used and most recently described classications that would be of greatest utility for those caring for patients with AAS.
Anatomic Classication Systems
Stanford andDeBakey Classications
The most commonly used classication system for AAS are the DeBakey and the Stanford systems [2, 3] (Fig.1). For these, the ascending aorta refers to the part of the aorta proximal to the brachiocephalic artery, the aortic arch extends from the brachiocephalic artery to the distal ostium of the left subclavian artery, and the descending aorta from left subclavian artery to the iliac bifurcation. Stanford type A dissection involves the ascending aorta and type B the descending aorta distal to the left subclavian artery (without involvement of the ascending aorta). DeBakey type I dissection involves the ascending aorta, the aortic arch and the descending aorta; DeBakey type II is limited to the ascending aorta only. DeBakey type III involves

the descending aorta, distal to the subclavian artery. DeBakey type III is further divided into IIIa (limited to the thoracic aorta) and IIIb (extending into the abdomi­nal aorta).
These two classication systems have stood the test of time and are the most
widely used classication methodologies. The simplicity of the Stanford classica­tion system has made it the most commonly used system by the non-surgical spe­cialties, including those frequently making the initial diagnosis, i.e., radiologists and emergency medicine physicians. It has the advantage of stratifying treatment strategy based on the type A or B designation, with type A dissection patients treated with emergency aortic replacement, while patients with type B dissection are gener­ally managed medically with aggressive blood pressure control unless there is end­organ malperfusion, risk of aortic rupture, uncontrolled hypertension, or uncontrolled symptoms, in which case intervention can be considered.
Data from the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD) suggest
that the patients with type A dissection who were treated with surgery have a mor­tality of 15–23%, whereas those treated medically have a mortality of 56–58% [4,
5]. In most instances, the patients treated medically are those who are thought to
carry a high risk of death prior to the operation and hence not offered surgery. Longer term survival in surgically managed patients is 97% to 90% at 1 and 3years,

respectively. The medically managed type A patients who survive the initial hospi­talization have survival rates of 88% and 68% at 1 and 3years [5, 6]. Mortality for type B aortic dissection is 7–10% for patients managed medically, 7–32% for patients treated with open surgery, and 1.5–8% for patients treated with endovascu­lar techniques [7, 8]. Longer term survival at 1–3years is approximately 77% in the medical, 85% in the surgical, and 77–98% in the endovascular cohorts [4, 7, 9].

Dissections oftheAortic Arch: “Non-A, Non-B”
One important limitation of the Stanford and DeBakey classication systems is the lack of a clear and consistent designation for aortic dissections that involve the aor­tic arch and the descending aorta but spare the ascending aorta. This has prompted some authors to coin the term “non-A non-B” dissection [10]. This entity can be further differentiated into the descending-entry type or the arch-entry type, based on the location of the intimal tear [11]. There is still debate regarding the optimal man­agement of the non-A non-B dissections. In a series of 101 patients in the IRAD registry who had retrograde extension of a descending aortic dissection into the aortic arch, early mortality rate was 9%, 18%, and 13%, for patients treated medi­cally, with open surgical repair, or with endovascular therapies, respectively (P=0.51) [12, 13]. A favorable early mortality rate was observed in patients with retrograde extension limited to the arch at 9% vs. into the ascending aorta at 19%, P=0.14.
In their series of 43 patients with non-A non-B dissection patients, Rylski etal.
found that emergency open or endovascular aortic repair was necessary due to mal­perfusion or aortic rupture in 29% of the 21 patients with an entry site in the descending aorta and 36% of the 22 patients with an entry in the aortic arch, with an in-hospital mortality of 1/6 and 3/8, respectively, of those undergoing aortic repair [11]. Moreover, at 2 weeks following the dissection, aortic repair was required (due to new organ malperfusion, rapid aortic growth, aortic rupture, or persistent pain) in 43% of descending-entry and 36% of arch-entry patients. Indeed, by the end of the
4.4 mean years of follow-up, 88% of patients had undergone aortic intervention.
SVS/STS Classication
Recently, the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) published reporting standards for acute type B dissection and pro­posed a new anatomic classication system for thoracic aortic dissection. This novel SVS/STS classication is based on the proximal and distal extent of the dissection ap at various zones in the aorta (Fig.2). This is akin to the well accepted classica­tion of the aortic arch into zones as proposed by Ishimaru [15]. According to this schema, the distinction between type A and type B is determined by the location of

the primary entry tear. Any dissection with an entry tear in zone 0 is classied as type A.In addition, a subscript is added to denote the most distal zone to which the dissection extends (A ing aorta that extends to the infrarenal aorta would be termed A9. Conversely, any dissection with an entry tear in Zone I or beyond is dened as a type B dissection, and the proximal and distal extents are denoted by a respective pair of subscripts (B
). For example, a dissection with its intimal tear just distal to the left subclavian

artery and extending to the infrarenal aorta would be designated B ering the proximal and distal extent of a given dissection, any aortic segment that has true and false lumens, a thrombosed false lumen, or intramural hematoma (IMH) are to be included. This classication system designates dissections as inde­terminate (rather than type A or B) when the location of the entry tear cannot be determined on diagnostic imaging; and, as with type B dissection, the letter I is fol­lowed by a pair of subscripts denoting the proximal and distal extent of the dissec­tion (I
). The SVS and STS also recommend that patients with IMH and penetrating

atherosclerotic ulcers (PAU) also have the extent of their aortic pathology described in a similar manner, namely IMH suggests that after a type A dissection repair, any residual distal dissection should be designated as such and include similar subscripts, e.g., residual B

While the SVS/STS classication system enables clinicians to accurately dene
the extent of a dissection, the authors acknowledge that this system is not indented to replace the Stanford or DeBakey classications, which are both simpler and familiar to the broad medical and surgical community. Indeed, so ingrained is the clinical distinction between the Stanford type A and B dissections, if a patient pres­ents to an emergency with a dissection that involves the ascending aorta but whose entry site is in zone 3, a radiology report that were to classify it as a type B rather than type A dissection could lead to confusion, at the least, and potential misman­agement, at the worst.
Another limitation of the SVS/STS classication system is that although it takes
onto account the location of the entry tear in distinguishing type A from type B dis­sections, it oddly ignores the location of the entry tear in subtyping type B dissec­tions. Indeed, the location of the entry tear is a key determinant of the feasibility of endovascular repair of type B dissections. These limitations suggest that there is ample opportunity to further rene this classication system before it is promoted for routine clinical use.

Chronicity-Based Classication ofAortic Dissection
Historically, acute dissection has been considered to be “acute” when a patient pres­ents 14days or fewer from symptom onset and “chronic” when presenting more than 14 days from symptom onset. This distinction has been derived from the seminal work of Hirst etal. in the 1950s [16], who observed that mortality in untreated patients with both type A and B dissection signicantly declined after 14days. The estimates of mortality were 21% at 24h, 49% in the rst 4days, and 74% at 14days from symptom onset [16]. After 14days, although mortality continued to rise, the curve attened signicantly during the 2–6-week time frame. Nevertheless, by 3years the mortality had risen to 95%, indicating that aortic dissection remained lethal well after entering the “chronic” phase. Since this temporal classication system predated the current advances in diagnostic imaging and medical, endovascular, and surgical treat­ment of aortic dissection, several modications have been proposed more recently.
IRAD Classication: Hyperacute, Acute, Subacute andChronic
In a study of over 1800 patients in the IRAD database, Booher etal. [17] examined time-related survival in patients presenting with acute aortic dissection. The sur­vival estimates were stratied by dissection type (Stanford A vs. B) and treatment strategy (medical vs. surgical vs. endovascular). The authors noted that survival continues to decrease signicantly for up to 30days after presentation for both type A and B dissection and across treatment strategies. Based on the inection points noted in survival (Fig.3a–c), the time from symptom onset was divided into four
