Background As surgical mortality decreases and endovascular utilization increases, it is
unknown whether volume-outcome relationships exist in thoracic aortic dissection repair …

Background Acute type A aortic dissection is a cardiovascular emergency requiring
operative intervention. Despite advancements in operative technique and increased …

Background Previous studies have demonstrated that patients undergoing complex surgical
procedures at high‐volume centers have improved outcomes. The goal of this study was to …

BACKGROUND: The use of stent grafts and mortality of stent graft repair of type B thoracic
aortic dissection (TBAD) is not well defined. We sought to determine national estimates for …

Background The purpose of this study is (1) to define the proportion of patients undergoing
emergent open repair of thoracic aortic dissection admitted directly through the emergency …

Objective To determine the relationship between volume of cases and failure-to-rescue
(FTR) rate after surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) across the United States …

Objective. To identify national outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for
type B aortic dissections (TBADs). Methods. The Nationwide Inpatient Sample database was …

BACKGROUND: Despite clinical and technical advances, acute aortic dissection carries
high operative mortality. This study was designed to establish whether this is influenced by …

Objective Population-based assessment of aortic dissection (AD) hospitalizations in the
general United States population is limited. We assessed the current trends in AD …

Objective The application of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has changed
treatment paradigms for thoracic aortic disease. We sought to better define specific treatment …
