4、422 patients underwent emergency open surgery for type A acute aortic dissection at out institution. Of those, we reviewed 124 patients of 75 years or older. We also reviewed 26 patients ( 75 years old) who were diagnosed with type A acute aortic dissection during the same period but did not underwe

Median follow-up period of operative patients was 560 days (range: 3 to 2,534 days).Late survival rates were

Our findings may be useful for decision-making in elderly patients with type A acute aortic dissection.,Sakakibara Heart Institute,
