Acute aortic syndromes
Acute aortic syndromes
Class I – Classic dissection with separation of intima/media and dual lumens; there is a flap between true and false aneurysm and clot in false lumen. Class II – Intramural hematoma with separation of intima/media but no intraluminal tear or flap on imaging. Class III – Limited intimal tear without hematoma and eccentric bulge at tear site (limited dissection). Class IV – Atherosclerotic ulcer penetrating to adventitia with surrounding hematoma that is usually subadventitial. Class V – Iatrogenic or traumatic dissection (eg, due to a cardiac catheterization).
