title: Dissecting aneurysm of the aorta--classification and proposal of surgical procedures.
abstract: Recently, the author classified dissecting aneurysm of the aorta into 3 groups (groups A, B and C) and 4 subtypes in each group (types a, b, c and d). Then, 41 operative cases with this disease were classified according to the above new classification, and their operative results were analysed. Consequently, postoperative result was closely related to the subtypes in each group of the dissection.
