Overview

Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) describes a constellation of emergency conditions with a similar clinical feature that involves the aorta.[1] These include aortic dissection, intramural thrombus, and penetrating atherosclerotic aortic ulcer.[2] It is possible for AAS to lead to acute coronary syndrome.[3] The term was introduced in 2001.[4][5]

Classification

Acute aortic syndromes is classified into 5 entities as follows:[6][7]

  • Type I: classic aortic dissection involving an intimal layer between the true and false lumen (with no communication between the two lumen)
  • Type II: aortic dissection with medial rupture and the subsequent intramural hematoma formation
  • Type III: subtle aortic dissection with bulging of the aortic wall
  • Type IV: aortic dissection due to plaque rupture and subsequent ulceration
  • Type V: iatrogenic/traumatic dissection
