2. Fig. 1
Schematic representation of the classification of DeBakey et al. with demographic features, incidence of hypertension (HBP), and vascular complications (VC) for each type of dissection. Numbers in parentheses are percentage.

3. Fig. 2
Sites and distribution of peripheral (not involving the ascending aorta) vascular complications and related clinical events. Disparity between occlusions and clinical events reflects asymptomatic occlusions. HBP = incidence of hypertension, ABD = abdominal.

4. Fig. 3
Influence of aortic rupture and vascular complications on mortality in patients with aortic dissection. Mortality was excessive with rupture. Too few patients with types II and IIIA dissection experienced rupture or vascular complications to make meaningful comparisons. In the absence of rupture, patients with vascular complications experienced significantly increased mortality. Numbers in parentheses are percentage. PVC = peripheral vascular complications.

5. Fig. 4
Aortogram in patient with chronic type I dissection. Note absence of left common carotid artery (arrow) and saccular aneurysm. Patient sustained recurrent left hemispheric watershed infarcts and was treated with a right-to-left carotid-to-carotid bypass before aneurysm resection.

6. Fig. 5
Mechanism of aortic branch obstruction in acute dissection. Bulging of the false lumen can produce occlusion at the branch orifice (A) and subsequent thrombosis distally (B) may occur. Intimal detachment at the branch orifice may occur with perfusion largely via the false channel (C). The dissection process may also proceed into the branch such that the actual obstruction occurs beyond the branch orifice (D). Similar mechanisms can produce distal aortic obstruction, which may be complicated by distal thrombosis or relieved by spontaneous (or surgical) reentry.
