Does surgical treatment successfully manage aortic dissection involving the right coronary artery?
Surgical management of aortic dissection involving the right coronary artery carries a high mortality risk but can be successful with long-term survival if performed before irreversible complications arise.
Paulo Manuel Pêgo‐Fernandes (1999) conducted an observational in Aortic dissection involving the right coronary artery (n=11). Surgical treatment was evaluated on Early postoperative death. Surgical treatment for aortic dissection involving the right coronary artery was associated with a 27.3% early postoperative mortality rate (3 of 11 patients).
