rarely < 60 year (etiology = media degeneration)
hypertension > 70%
Type A mortality 1-2% per hour after onset of symptoms, total up to 90% non-treated, 40% when treated.
1 year survival Type B up to 85% if medically treated (5 year > 70%) ADADManagement decisionsManagement decisionsType A or Type B
Place of entry & re-entry
Side branches involved, originating form true / false lumen
Organs at risk (1/3 of mortality is caused by organ failure)
Complications (rupture, coronary occlusion, aortic insufficiency, neurological )
Diameters of true and false lumina at: proximal and distal landing zones, at entry and at minimum
Iliac vessel tortuosity

10% of dissections, resorpted
Difficult to distinguish from thrombosed AD
Can proceed to classic dissection (16-47%)
Long time to diagnosis: usually overlooked due to lack of non-enhanced scan
Mortality at 1 year after dismission ~ 25% Intramural HematomaIntramural HematomaIMHIMHIMHIMHtype A or Type B
Predictors of mortality: - Ascending Aorta > 5 cm Ø - IMH thickness > 2 cm - Pericardial effusion (to less extend pleural effusion)
IMH may persist or evolve into aneurysm or PAU
Associated PAU - worse prognostic outcome
IMH thickness stays below 2 cm, making regression of this Type B IMH likely (up to 80%).Penetrating Atherosclerotic UlcerPenetrating Atherosclerotic UlcerPAUPAUPatients with severe systemic atherosclerosis
Rarely rupture, yet worse prognosis due to extensive atherosclerosis which causes organfailure (e.g. acute myocardial infarction)
Cause of most saccular aneurysms
Located in arch and descending aorta
Often multiple (therefore surgical treatment difficult, mostly treated medically) PAUPAUPAUPAUType A or Type B
Single or multiple
Associated IMH (if not present, be cautious to mention PAU, clinical symptoms might not be caused by PAU, which is probably stable)
