[Research progress of acute aortic syndrome]

Area of Science:

• Cardiology
• Vascular Surgery
• Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

• Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) presents a significant health challenge, particularly in aging populations, due to its acute onset and high mortality.
• Existing diagnostic methods for AAS are evolving, with potential for enhanced clinical utility through serum biomarkers and advanced imaging.
• Traditional open surgical interventions for AAS, while life-saving, are associated with considerable mortality and morbidity risks.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review recent advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of acute aortic syndrome.
• To highlight the impact of novel diagnostic techniques and endovascular interventions on AAS patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

• Review of current literature on acute aortic syndrome diagnostics and therapeutics.
• Analysis of trends in serum biomarker research and imaging technique development for AAS.
• Evaluation of the efficacy and limitations of endovascular techniques compared to traditional surgery for AAS.

Main Results:

• Diagnostic accuracy for AAS has improved through advancements in imaging and the identification of potential serum biomarkers.
• Endovascular techniques have demonstrated improved prognosis for AAS patients compared to open surgery, reducing mortality and morbidity.
• Further optimization of endovascular approaches is necessary for effective application across diverse AAS patient subgroups.

Conclusions:

• Acute aortic syndrome remains a critical condition requiring timely diagnosis and effective treatment.
• Innovations in diagnostic tools and the increasing adoption of endovascular repair are transforming AAS management.
• Personalized optimization of endovascular strategies is essential to maximize benefits for all AAS patient populations.
