Population

32 consecutive patients with acute type-A aortic dissection treated at Royal North Shore Hospital between January 1988 and August 1994.

Intervention

Surgical repair (15 supra-coronary ascending aortic replacements, 4 with aortic valve re-suspension, 13 Bentall's type operations)

Outcome

30-day mortality and late mortality/long-term survivalhard clinical

Surgical repair of acute type-A aortic dissection provides acceptable early and late survival outcomes, with 62% long-term survival at a mean follow-up of 4.8 years.
