Key result
A multidisciplinary diagnostic and treatment approach resulted in the survival of all three pregnant women with acute type A aortic dissection and their newborns, with no serious complications.
Why the study?
Acute type A aortic dissection in late pregnancy is rare and severe, with a lack of clinical experience driving high mortality.
Does a multidisciplinary therapeutic strategy improve survival in pregnant women with acute type A aortic dissection?

Does a multidisciplinary therapeutic strategy improve survival in pregnant women with acute type A aortic dissection?
A multidisciplinary approach is crucial and effective for ensuring the survival of both mother and newborn in cases of acute type A aortic dissection during late pregnancy.
Multidisciplinary care enabled survival in three late-pregnancy AAAD cases; leaves open optimal protocols pending larger series.
INTRODUCTION: Acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) in late pregnancy is a rare but severe disease. Lack of clinical experience is the main cause of high mortality. This study tries to investigate the multidisciplinary therapeutic strategy for these patients. CASE PRESENTATION: We reported three patients with AAAD in late pregnancy. Sudden chest pain was the main clinical symptom before operation. All three patients and their newborns survived through multidisciplinary approach in diagnosis and treatment. No serious complications occurred during the mid-term follow-up. CONCLUSION: Multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment strategy play a crucial role in saving the lives of pregnant women with AAAD.
