Overview

Several different classification systems have been used to describe aortic dissections. The systems commonly in use are either based on either the anatomy of the dissection (proximal, distal) or the duration of onset of symptoms (acute, chronic) prior to presentation.

Classification

  • Several classification systems have been suggested for the description of aortic dissection.[1][2][3][4]
  • The commonly used classifications for aortic dissection are either based on the timing of the symptoms or the anatomy of the dissection.
  • DeBakey and Stanford systems are the commonly used classification systems for aortic dissection.

DeBakey Classification System

The DeBakey system classifies aortic dissection based on anatomy of the aorta. It classifies the dissection according to the intimal tear location.[5]

  • Type III A: Dissection limited to the descending thoracic aorta
  • Type III B: Dissection extended below the diaphragm
Percentage 60 % 10-15 % 25-30 %
Type DeBakey I DeBakey II DeBakey III
Stanford A Stanford B
  Proximal Distal
Classification of aortic dissection

Stanford Classification System

Stanford classification system is based on the involvement of ascending aorta.[6]

  • A = Type I and II DeBakey
  • B = Type III Debakey
Dissection of the aorta descendens (3), which starts from the left subclavian artery, reaching to the abdominal aorta (4). Aorta ascendens (1) and aortic arch (2) are not involved.


Classification based on the Proximity

  1. Proximal: Ascending aortic involvement
  2. Distal: Descending aortic involvement distal to left subclavian artery

Classification by the Time of Onset

  1. Acute: Onset within 2 weeks of onset of pain
  2. Subacute: Onset within 2-6 weeks of onset of pain
  3. Chronic: Onset within 6 weeks of pain.
