Impact of hypertension on short- and long-term survival of patients who underwent emergency surgery for type A acute aortic dissection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To explore the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with hypertension underwent emergency surgery for type A acute aortic dissection (TA-AAD).

Methods

The present study enrolled 712 consecutive patients diagnosed with TA-AAD and received aortic repair surgery at our hospital between January 2014 to December 2018. Clinical characteristics of enrolled patients were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were grouped by preexisting hypertension history and matched with propensity scores matching method. Patients' clinical characteristics were compared and analyzed before and after propensity scoring. To identify predictors for long-term mortality rate, Kaplan-Meier survival estimation and Cox proportional hazard analysis were performed.
