Survival following emergent open repair for thoracic aortic dissection was significantly greater at high-volume centers. These findings suggest that understanding the processes at high-volume centers that underlie this volume-outcomes relationship may improve in-hospital survival and postoperative complications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
