Survival following acute type A aortic dissection: a multicenter study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While surgery is almost always indicated for acute type A aortic dissections (ATAADs), the extent of surgery is often debated, with some surgeons preferring a conservative option and others preferring a more radical option This study aims to assess the outcome after surgery for ATAAD and the prognostic impact of surgical strategy (with vs. without aortic arch replacement).

Methods

Data was gathered between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2021 and retrospectively analyzed with multivariable logistic and Cox regression to ascertain risk factors and survival respectively.

Results

A total of 601 patients underwent type A aortic dissection repair across the recruiting centers with an operative mortality of 24.3% (146 patients) which was considerably linked
