Abstract

To review the management of patients with acute type A aortic dissection. Between June 1967 and December 2003, 246 patients (151 males and 95 females, 20-82 years; median 59 years) underwent operation for type A dissection. Early mortality and aortic dissection-related late events (reoperation and death related to aortic dissection) were assessed and correlated with the surgical approach. Over 37 years, early mortality has markedly improved, 50% in 1970s, 22% in 1980s, 17% in 1990s, and 11% after 2000. However, late deaths occurred at a constant rate, overall late survival at 10 and 20 years were 59% and 9%, respectively, and this did not improve after the 1990s. Preoperative hemodynamic instability, myocardial and kidney malperfusion, smoking history, prolonged bypass and cross-clamp time, and year of surgery were found to be risk factors for early death. The main cause (21%) of late deaths was aortic dissection-related events, especially in the distal aorta. However, no intraoperative risk factors were found to be predictive of late dissection-related events. Surgical techniques including complete resection of the intimal tear or distal extent of the surgery had no impact on late distal event-free survival. Despite improvemen...Continue Reading

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.

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.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
