Why the study?
Data regarding the management of lower-extremity malperfusion in the setting of type A aortic dissection are limited.
Does lower-extremity revascularization improve outcomes in patients with acute type A aortic dissection presenting with lower-extremity malperfusion?
Does lower-extremity revascularization improve outcomes in patients with acute type A aortic dissection presenting with lower-extremity malperfusion?
Lower-extremity malperfusion in acute type A aortic dissection is associated with worse long-term survival, but not all of these patients require peripheral revascularization.

Signals higher mortality risk; leaves open optimal revascularization strategies in this observational cohort.
