Purpose Up to 10% of acute type A aortic dissection (TAAD) patients are deemed unfit for
open surgical repair, exposing these patients to high mortality rates. In recent years, thoracic …

Dissection of the ascending aorta, type A aortic dissection (TAAD), represents a surgical
emergency with high morbidity and mortality. Current open surgical techniques, although …

Objective: The undisputed gold standard of treatment for type A aortic dissections (TAAD) is
open surgery. Anecdotal reports have assessed thoracic endovascular aortic repair …

BACKGROUND: Open repair is the gold standard for type A aortic dissection (TAAD).
Endovascular option has been proposed in very limited and selected TAAD patients. We …

Objective Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a catastrophic condition that can be fatal
if not treated immediately. We sought to examine the literature and identify evidence behind …

Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) carries high morbidity and mortality rates and is a
clinical emergency. The reported mortality rate is 50% to 65% within the first 48 hours …
