Sex-Related Differences in Clinical Features and In-Hospital Outcomes of Type B Acute Aortic Dissection: A Registry Study.

ABSTRACT: Background The association between female sex and poor outcomes following surgery for type A acute aortic dissection has been reported; however, sex-related differences in clinical features and in-hospital outcomes of type B acute aortic dissection, including classic aortic dissection and intramural hematoma, remain to be elucidated. Methods and Results We studied 2372 patients with type B acute aortic dissection who were enrolled in the Tokyo Acute Aortic Super-Network Registry. There were fewer and older women than men (median age [interquartile range]: 76 years [66-84 years], n=695 versus 68 years [57-77 years], n=1677; P<0.001).
