We then compare the clinical characteristics and long-term prognoses of different classifications.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> All AcD patients who underwent surgical procedures at Fuwai Hospital from 2010 to 2015 were included in the study. AcD procedures are divided into three types: Fuwai type Cp, Ct, and Cd. Type Cp is defined as the innominate artery or combined with the left carotid artery involved. Type Cd is defined as the left subclavian artery or combined with the left carotid artery involved. All other AcD surgeries are defined as type Ct. The Chi-square test was adopted for the pairwise comparison among the three types. Kaplan-Meier was used for the analysis of long-term survival and survival free of reoperation.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> In total, 1,063 AcD patients were enrolled from 2010 to 2015: 54 patients were type Cp, 832 were type Ct, and 177 were type Cd. The highest operation proportion of Cp, Ct and Cd were partial arch replacement, total arch replacement, and TEVAR. The surgical mortality in type Ct was higher compared to type Cd (Ct vs. Cd = 9.38 vs. 1.69%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.01) and type Cp (Ct vs. Cp = 9.38 vs. 1.85%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.06). There was no difference in surgical mortality of type Cp and Cd (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.93). There were no significant differences in the long-term survival rates (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.38) and free of aorta-related re-operations (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.19).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> The Fuwai classification is used to distinguish different AcDs. Different AcDs have different surgical mortality and use different operation methods, but they have similar long-term results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcvm.2021.710281","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,14]],"date-time":"2021-09-14T04:41:31Z","timestamp":1631594491000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["A New Aortic Arch Dissection Classification: The Fuwai Classification"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Juntao","family":"Qiu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xinjin","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jinlin","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qian","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiangyang","family":"Qian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaogang","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shen","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenxiang","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cuntao","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"365","DOI":"10.1136\/heart.85.4.365","article-title":"Acute aortic syndrome","volume":"85","author":"Vilacosta","year":"2001","journal-title":"Heart."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1130","DOI":"10.1136\/hrt.2008.153650","article-title":"Acute aortic syndrome: a new look at an old conundrum","volume":"95","author":"Vilacosta","year":"2009","journal-title":"Heart."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"55","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(08)60994-0","article-title":"Acute aortic dissection","volume":"372","author":"Golledge","year":"2008","journal-title":"Lancet."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"755","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5223(94)70304-3","article-title":"Dissection of the descending thoracic aorta extending into the ascending aorta.
