Abstract:
Acute Type A dissection is a life-threatening condition requiring urgent surgical treatment. The operative technique involves repairs of a variety of distal extents of the transverse aortic arch and the downstream aorta. We review the evidence surrounding the extent of repair for acute Type A aortic dissection and describe our approach to this disease.
