Optimal Strategy for Repair of Type A Acute Aortic Dissection

Acute type A aortic dissection (TAAD) persists as a clinicopathologic entity with high lethality in the current era. Several procedures are presently used to repair the TAAAD. The objective of this study is to analyze two groups of individuals using a conservative approach through root-sparing and hemiarch techniques in patients who are hospitalized in higher-risk clinical conditions or more aggressive procedures such as root replacement and total arch replacement in low-risk patients.
