Overview

High early mortality from rupture in untreated aortic dissection supports urgent evaluation; leaves open applicability to contemporary cohorts with modern imaging.

Structured PICO

P
Population
50 patients with aortic dissection seen at the Mayo Clinic between 1945 and 1961 (survival information available for 40 patients).
O
Outcome
Survival/mortalityhard clinical

This historical cohort demonstrates the extremely high early mortality of untreated aortic dissection, primarily due to external rupture, underscoring the critical need for urgent surgical intervention.
