Introduction
Acute type A aortic dissection
(ATAAD) is a life-threatening
cardiovascular condition that requires emergency surgery. Recently, the
incidence of ATAAD has been increasing with the increasing incidence and
poor control of hypertension in patients
(1). With the great progress in various
imaging technologies, our understanding of ATAAD has become clearer than
it was previously. With the rapid development of materials technology
and improved outcome expectations, the therapeutic strategies and
concepts for ATAAD are constantly being updated. Therefore, further
analysis and recognition of this critical and severe disease are needed
to improve the clinical prognosis. The purpose of this study was to
identify risk factors for in-hospital mortality in patients with ATAAD.
