Safety and efficacy of two-stage type II hybrid aortic arch repair in elderly patients with acute type A aortic dissection: a propensity score-matched analysis
Abstract:Objective: To investigate the safety and efficacy of two-stage type II hybrid aortic arch repair (HAR) in elderly patients with acute type A aortic dissection (a-TAAD).
Methods: This was a single-center, prospective study involved 119 patients with a-TAAD, included 82 males and 37 females, aged 22 ~81 years old.
