Abstract: Type A acute aortic dissection (TAAD) is a disease that has a catastrophic impact on a patient's life and emergent surgery represents a key goal of early treatment. Despite continuous improvements in imaging techniques, medical therapy and surgical management, early mortality in patients undergoing TAAD repair still remains high, ranging from 17% to 26%. In this setting, the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD), the largest worldwide registry for acute aortic dissection, was established to … Show more

“…The most used is the Stanford classification based on the involvement of the ascending aorta (type A) or involvement of the distal aorta alone distally to the origin of the left subclavian artery without implication of the ascending aorta (type B). Sixty % of dissection are classified as type A aortic dissection (TAAD), the 40% as type B (TBAD) (1)(2)(3)(4).…”

“…About 33% of untreated patients with TAAD die within the first 24 hours, 50% die within 48 hours and 75-90% die within 30 days (3,4). Emergency surgical approach with ascending aorta replacement is the only option to improve the survival (3,4).…”
