Abstract

Over the past few decades, the advents in monitoring, imaging, diagnostics, and implementation of multidisciplinary team approach in Type A aortic dissection surgery resulted in improved surgical outcomes. One other factor that needed to be targeted and carefully analyzed was the volume-outcome relationship on hospital and surgeon level in the settings of Type A dissection. This surely sprung form reports which indicated that supercenters providing aortic services with concentrated expert and expertise were performing better than smaller centers. We dwell in this article on the body of evidence to support concentration of experts and the effect of this organization on volume, referral, and outcome in Type A aortic dissection.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
