Why the study?
Does postoperative anticoagulation affect false lumen patency and clinical outcomes in patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection?
Does postoperative anticoagulation affect false lumen patency and clinical outcomes in patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection?
Postoperative anticoagulation in Stanford type A aortic dissection is associated with increased false lumen patency but does not significantly impact mortality, reintervention, or stroke rates.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Anticoagulation after type A dissection repair may increase false lumen patency without affecting death or reintervention; leaves open optimal strategy pending RCTs.
Gong et al. (2023) studied this question.
