Why the study?
Acute type A aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition requiring immediate surgery, where advances in techniques, technology, and individualized planning tools have emerged to improve clinical outcomes.
This review provides an overview of current surgical treatments for acute type A aortic dissection, highlighting advancements in graft technology, imaging, and organ protection.
May inform evolving surgical protocols for acute type A aortic dissection; leaves open need for prospective outcome data on new classifications and prostheses.
Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a life-threatening event that requires immediate surgical treatment. Improvements in surgical treatment, graft technology, organ protection and imaging techniques have led to improved clinical outcomes. Individualized treatment concepts have emerged based on more advanced planning tools that allow for a tailored approach even in complex situations such as multi-level malperfusion. This review provides an overview of the current surgical treatment of ATAAD, focusing on new disease classifications, preoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) assessment, new prosthesis and stent technologies, and organ-protection strategies.
