Cerebral perfusion issues in acute type A aortic dissection without preoperative malperfusion: how do surgical factors affect outcomes? [AORTIC SURGERY]

CONCLUSIONS The RAxA cannulation and FemA cannulation are associated with comparable 30-day mortality following surgery for aortic dissection. However, the possible higher risk of LACI-type strokes in the RAxA group, especially when associated with unilateral brain perfusion, should be considered when RAxA cannulation is performed in ATAAD. The hypothesis that more experienced surgeons may produce better earlier outcomes warrants further investigation.
