*1.3.1 Dissect classification*

The DISSECT classification system is a mnemonic-based approach with relevance to the therapeutic considerations, including endovascular management. The six features of aortic dissection include duration of disease, intimal tear location, size of the dissected aorta, segmental extent of aortic involvement, clinical complications of the dissection, and thrombus within the aortic false lumen [1].
