Key result

Surgical management of thoracic aortic aneurysms had an overall mortality of 26%, with early mortality at 40% for emergency dissection vs 8-9% for elective or non-dissection cases.

Population

68 patients with aneurysms of the thoracic aorta.

Design

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

High mortality with emergency dissection supports elective repair in suitable patients; leaves open optimal thresholds and screening impact.

Study Design

Type

Observational (n=68)

Structured PICO

Population

68 patients with aneurysms of the thoracic aorta, including 41 with aortic dissection, 24 with dilatation only, and 3 with transverse aortic rupture.

Exposure

Diagnostic imaging (echocardiography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography) and surgical management (including prophylactic replacement of the ascending aorta).

Outcome

Mortality rate (early and late).hard clinical

Preventive replacement of the ascending aorta and use of contrast-enhanced CT are recommended to reduce the high mortality associated with emergency operations for aortic dissection.
