Abstract:
Despite the improvements in the diagnosis and management during the past six decades, acute aortic dissection (AAD) remains a life-threatening condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality rates. Due to the relatively rare occurrence of AAD, several clinical registries have been established to gain insights into this lethal disease in a large number of patients, such as the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD), the German Registry for Acute Aortic Dissection Type A (GERAADA), and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Adult Cardiac Surgery Database Aortic Section. This review aims to interpret and compare the latest results of the IRAD, STS and GERAADA database. It focuses on several controversial and key issues in the diagnosis and management of acute aortic dissection in hope of providing some insights and references for cardiovascular professionals engaged in the care of this deadly disease.
