Outcomes of Acute Type A Aortic Dissection After Previous Cardiac Surgery
Purpose
• Since few data exist, we report outcomes of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) after previous cardiac surgery (PCS).

Patients with ATAAD following PCS exhibited risks for malperfusion, hypotension, and cardiac tamponade that were similar to primary ATAAD cases.
This suggests that adhesions formed after PCS do not eliminate the risk of cardiac tamponade from aortic rupture.
Although results from surgical repair are acceptable, and thus justifying timely repair, mortality still remains higher than without a prior history of cardiac surgery.
Patients need to be individualized.
