Why the study?
Does preoperative malperfusion syndrome worsen early and mid-term mortality and quality of life in patients undergoing surgery for acute type A aortic dissection?
Does preoperative malperfusion syndrome worsen early and mid-term mortality and quality of life in patients undergoing surgery for acute type A aortic dissection?
Preoperative malperfusion syndrome in acute type A aortic dissection is associated with increased early and mid-term mortality, though mid-term quality of life remains comparable to those without MPS unless central nervous system malperfusion is present.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
MPS flags higher-risk ATAAD patients for intensified monitoring; observational data leave open whether targeted strategies improve survival.
