What are the pre- and intraoperative risk factors for mortality in patients surgically treated for acute aortic dissection type A?
Preoperative comatose state and resuscitation are major risk factors for mortality in acute aortic dissection type A, whereas specific surgical techniques have less impact than shorter operative times.
GERAADA could detect significant disease- and surgery-related risk factors for death in AADA, influencing the outcome of surgically treated AADA patients. Comatose and resuscitated patients have the poorest outcome. Cannulation sites and operative techniques did not seem to affect mortality. Short operative times are associated with better outcomes.
