Malperfusion in Acute Type A Aortic Dissection: An Update From the Nordic Consortium for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2019
To evaluate the effect of preoperative malperfusion on 30-day and late mortality and postoperative complications using data from the Nordic Consortium for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection (ATAAD) registry.We studied 1159 patients who underwent ATAAD surgery between January 2005 and December 2014 at 8 Nordic centers.

Descending Aortic Diameter of 5.5 cm or Greater Is Not an Accurate Predictor of Acute Type B Aortic Dissection

open access: yesJournal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2011
ObjectiveThe risk of acute type B aortic dissection is thought to increase with descending thoracic aortic diameter. Currently, elective repair of the descending thoracic aorta is indicated for an aortic diameter of 5.5 cm or greater.

Acute Type A Aortic Dissection

Cardiology Clinics, 2017
Type A aortic dissection is a surgical emergency occurring when an intimal tear in the aorta creates a false lumen in the ascending aorta. Prompt diagnosis and surgical treatment are imperative to optimize outcomes. Surgical repair requires replacement of the ascending aorta with or without aortic root or aortic arch replacement.

Role of Age in Acute Type A Aortic Dissection Outcome: Report From the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD)

open access: yesJournal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2010
ObjectiveThe increasing life expectancy of the population will likely be accompanied by a rise in the incidence of acute type A aortic dissection. However, because of an increased risk of cardiac surgery in an elderly population, it is important to ...

Unsolved issues in acute type A aortic dissection

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2022
Surgery for acute type A aortic dissection remains challenging with considerable mortality and morbidity despite the remarkable advances in this field. Particularly, surgical outcomes of acute type A aortic dissection are known to be associated with the hospital volume.

Acute Type A Aortic Dissection

2020
Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a life-threatening emergency that requires a prompt diagnosis and subsequent referral for urgent surgical intervention. A thorough understanding of ATAAD, including its clinical presentation and pathophysiology, as well as the diagnostic modalities and surgical treatment options available, is necessary for ...

Management of Acute Type A Aortic Dissection

Cardiology Clinics
This article reviews the management of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), from initial temporizing medical therapy to the technical aspects of urgent surgical repair, which is the definitive treatment for ATAAD. Surgical repair and the extent of aortic resection and replacement are dictated by the location and extent of intimal tears, as well as ...

Aortic Expansion After Acute Type B Aortic Dissection

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2012
A considerable number of patients with acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) treated with medical management alone will exhibit aortic enlargement during follow-up, which could lead to aortic aneurysm and rupture. The purpose of this study was to investigate predictors of aortic expansion among ABAD patients enrolled in the International Registry of ...

Overview of acute type A aortic dissection in India

Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2023
Acute type A aortic dissection (TAAD) is a life-threatening surgical emergency. Though the entity is associated with high mortality and morbidity, with well-executed and timely surgical intervention, mortality and morbidity could be reduced to a reasonable extent. Information about demographics, clinical pattern, and results of management of acute TAAD

Aortic Valve Conservation in Acute Type A Dissection

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1997
We consider operative survival as the primary objective in acute type A dissection and believe that virtually all native aortic valves can be conserved. We sought to answer the question: "Does glue repair improve the long-term stability of proximal aortic repair?"We retrospectively studied 64 patients with an acute type A dissection, an ascending ...
