Stanford classification

CTA enables the diagnosis of AD and its differentiation according to the Stanford classification, with a sensitivity and specificity of over 99% (Hayter et al. 2006). RadiologicaUy, the primary intimal tear (entry) and the extension of the AD should be located. Additionally, distal connections between the false and the true lumen (reentries) have to be located. In case of a circumferential dissection, there is an intimo-intimal intussusception and a floating true lumen in the center. A missing contrast enhancement of the lumen arises either from a significant reduction of the blood flow or from a thrombosis.
