Early outcomes of Sun's procedure in elderly patients with acute aortic dissection: a single-center retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The effect of patient age on the outcome of Sun's procedure for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) remains controversial. We retrospectively investigated the early outcomes of Sun's procedure in elderly patients with ATAAD in our single center.

Methods

This study involved 106 patients who underwent Sun's procedure. The patients were divided into the elderly group (≥70 years, n = 17) and younger group (<70 years). Baseline, intraoperative, and postoperative data were compared between the groups.

Results

The mean age in the elderly and younger groups was 75.7 and 50.7 years, respectively. The type of aortic root operations were not significantly different between the groups. Concomitant surgeries were more frequently performed in the elderly group, but wit
