Mortality in patients surviving to hospital discharge with acute type B aortic dissection remains high, approaching 25% at 3 years, highlighting the need for optimized treatment and surveillance.
High late mortality after type B aortic dissection discharge warrants enhanced surveillance; leaves open optimal post-acute management strategies.
Contemporary follow-up mortality in patients who survive to hospital discharge with acute type B aortic dissection is high, approaching 1 in every 4 patients at 3 years. Current treatment and follow-up surveillance require further study to better understand and optimize care for patients with this complex disease.
