Guidelines from the European Society of Cardiology (Erbel, et al., 2014) state that In most cases of aortic insufficiency associated with acute Type A dissection, the aortic valve is essentially normal and can be preserved by applying an aortic valve-sparing repair of the aortic root. In cases...

Introduction:Aortic dissection (AD) repair is a high-risk procedure. Hospital teaching status may impact postoperative outcomes after AD repair. This study aimed to compare mortality after AD repair for both Stanford Type A (TAAD) and Stanford Type B (TBAD) in urban private practice (UPP) ...
Another limitation of our study was that we defined aortic aneurysm and dissection disease on the basis of ICD-9-CM codes with compatible orders of imaging examinations. We cannot rule out the possibility that aortic aneurysms may be newly diagnosed on imaging tests such as computed tomographic...

AD case was identified by the presence of any of the following ICD codes: “441.0” (ICD-9) or “I71.0” (ICD-10), or medical terms in Chinese including aortic dissection (or rupture). To minimize the possibility of missing patients, we firstly constructed a relatively loose algorithm to...
dissections of the ascending (Stanford type A) or descending (Stanford type B) thoracic aorta are life-threatening conditions requiring emergency treatment, often including surgical repair, and are associated with high short-term and long-term mortality risk1,2. Despite the lethality of these condit...
4 According to literature, Acute type B aortic dissection (TbAD) has a Data Source We retrospectively captured patients who underwent OSR and TEVAR for thoracic type B Aortic Dissection between 2009 and 2015 in the Premier Healthcare Database (PHD). The PHD is a prospectively-maintained ...
Primary Outcome The primary outcome was the 90-day incidence of aneurysm and aortic dissection per 10 000 antibiotic fills (eTable 3 in the Supplement). Patients could have diagnoses for different aneurysms during their follow-up period (ie, a diagnosis of an abdominal aortic and an iliac ar...
Background-Population-based data about the incidence and mortality of patients with aortic dissections (ADs) are sparse. Therefore, the hospital incidence and in-hospital mortality of patients undergoing open or endovascular surgery for type A ADs (TAADs) and type B ADs (TBADs) in Germany were...
