Key result
Reoperation after acute type A aortic dissection repair was associated with a 30-day or in-hospital mortality of 7.0% and a 5-year overall survival of 64.9%.

Acceptable reoperation mortality supports limited index repair feasibility; leaves open optimal strategy and center-volume effects.

What are the mortality and morbidity outcomes of reoperation after acute type A aortic dissection repair?
Reoperation after acute type A aortic dissection repair is associated with low mortality (7.0%), suggesting that limited index repair is a safe strategy, particularly at lower-volume centers.
Wang et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Acute type A aortic dissection (n=129). Reoperation after acute type A dissection repair was evaluated on 30-day or in-hospital mortality. Reoperation after acute type A aortic dissection repair was associated with a 30-day or in-hospital mortality of 7.0% and a 5-year overall survival of 64.9%.
