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
Causes
- Causes include aortic dissection, intramural hematoma, penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer or a thoracic aneurysm that has become unstable.[8]
- Basically, AAS can be caused by a breakdown on the wall of the aorta that involves the tunica intima and/or media.[9]

Differentiating Acute Aortic Syndrome from other Diseases
- Acute aortic syndrome should be differentiated from other conditions cuasing signs ans symptoms such as chest pain, dyspnea, back pain and etc.
- The table below provides information on the differentail diagnosis of acute aortic syndrome:
