Key result
Modern surgical and endovascular advances expand options and improve survival in acute type A aortic dissection.
Why the study?
Prompt management of acute type A aortic dissection is imperative, and advances in technology have broadened adjuncts including novel open and endovascular techniques.
Continuous innovations in surgical techniques and endovascular therapies provide new, viable options for high-risk patients with acute type A aortic dissection.
May expand options for high-risk patients with acute type A aortic dissection; leaves open prospective validation of combined approaches.
The prompt and appropriate management of acute type A aortic dissections is imperative for patient survival. Advances in medical technology have broadened the adjuncts available to treat the spectrum of pathology within this population. The role of medical management prior to surgical intervention and the components of operative management, including cannulation strategies, neuroprotection, and the extent of aortic intervention, have been explored in-depth within the literature. More recent work has identified novel open and endovascular techniques available to treat acute type A dissections. This review aims to summarize the literature, with a particular focus on innovation in cardiac surgery and its role in the care of this high-risk population.
