Thoracic aortic dissection

Two classification schemes of thoracic aortic dissection: Stanford and DeBakey. Stanford type A involving ascending aorta only includes DeBakey’s type I (involving ascending aorta and extending into descending aorta as well) and II (limited to ascending aorta only), while Stanford type B is limited to descending aorta corresponds to DeBakey type III.
