Prognostic factors and outcomes of acute type A aortic dissection: a retrospective clinical study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute type A aortic dissection (aTAAD) is a cardiovascular emergency requiring surgical intervention. Data on the long-term mortality of surgically treated patients remain scarce. We aimed to examine the prognostic factors and long-term outcomes of surgically treated patients with aTAAD.

Methods

We analyzed data from 952 surgically treated aTAAD patients. The association between the perioperative factors and long-term mortality of these patients was examined.

Results

Altogether, 93 patients died during the follow-up period, resulting in a 5-year mortality rate of 9.7%. The patients who died were older (P=0.02), had averagely higher European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) II scores (P=0.042), longer cardiopulmonary bypass time (CPBT
