Why the study?
What are the long-term survival rates and causes of late death in patients managed for aortic dissection?
What are the long-term survival rates and causes of late death in patients managed for aortic dissection?
Operative therapy for types I and II and selective surgery for type III aortic dissections yield acceptable long-term survival, though late mortality is often driven by concurrent cardiovascular or residual aortic disease.

Supports type-specific survival benchmarks in aortic dissection management; leaves open whether modern therapies improve late outcomes.
Glower et al. (1991) studied this question.
