Key result
In patients undergoing surgery for acute aortic dissection, 5-year estimated survival was 63% in type I versus 80% in type II (p=0.135), with no distal aortic re-interventions required in type II.

Does a modified DeBakey classification predict long-term survival and re-intervention probability in patients undergoing surgery for acute aortic dissection?
Population
118 patients who underwent surgery for acute aortic dissection

A slightly modified DeBakey classification accurately predicts late outcomes and re-intervention probability in acute aortic dissection, demonstrating that type II patients heal without needing later distal re-interventions.

Tsagakis et al. (2011) conducted a cohort in Acute aortic dissection (n=118). Type I acute aortic dissection vs. Type II acute aortic dissection was evaluated on 5-year estimated survival rate (p=0.135). In patients undergoing surgery for acute aortic dissection, 5-year estimated survival was 63% in type I versus 80% in type II (p=0.135), with no distal aortic re-interventions required in type II.
