IRAD experience on surgical type A acute dissection patients: results and predictors of mortality.

TLDR
The present review aimed to evaluate and comment on outcomes of TAAD surgery as reported from IRAD series.
Abstract
Type A acute aortic dissection (TAAD) is a disease that has a catastrophic impact on a patient’s life and emergent surgery represents a key goal of early treatment. Despite continuous improvements in imaging techniques, medical therapy and surgical management, early mortality in patients undergoing TAAD repair still remains high, ranging from 17% to 26%. In this setting, the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD), the largest worldwide registry for acute aortic dissection, was established to assess clinical characteristics, management and outcomes of TAAD patients. The present review aimed to evaluate and comment on outcomes of TAAD surgery as reported from IRAD series.

Endovascular Fenestration/Stenting First Followed by Delayed Open Aortic Repair for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection With Malperfusion Syndrome.

TL;DR: Patients with MPS benefit from a staged approach: upfront endovascular reperfusion followed by aortic OR at resolution of organ failure, as well as the expected mortalities with an “upfront OR for every patient” approach.

A systematic review of primary endovascular repair of the ascending aorta.

TL;DR: Despite the absence of a dedicated aortic stent graft for the ascending aorta, patients with a range of ascending aortsic diseases are being successfully treated by endovascular technologies, and patient selection is critical to align aortics anatomy with the limited device sizing options.

Gender-Related Differences in Acute Aortic Dissection

TL;DR: Insight is provided into gender-related differences in AAD with regard to clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes; important diagnostic and therapeutic implications may help shed light on aortic dissection in women to improve their outcomes.

Surgical management of aortic dissection during a 30-year period

TL;DR: Although the operative mortality rate decreased over time for patients with aortic dissection, the risk for those with acute aorti dissection during the last 10 years (1983 to 1992) is probably more realistic than that observed in the preceding 5-year interval (1978 to 1982).
