Reinterventions After Repair of Acute Type A Aortic Dissection: Incidence, Outcomes, and Risk Factors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study reports the incidence, outcomes, and risk factors for aortic reinterventions after repair of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD).

Methods

This was an observational study of aortic operations from 2010 to 2021. All patients with ATAAD undergoing open aortic arch reconstruction were included. Patients were dichotomized by the need for reintervention, which included reinterventions proximal to or distal to the index aortic repair. Propensity matching was used to determine the impact of reintervention on long-term outcomes. The cumulative incidence function for reintervention was estimated, and multivariable Fine-Gray analysis was performed to identify variables associated with reintervention, with death treated as a competing event.
