Does Interhospital Transfer Influence the Outcomes of Patients Receiving Surgery for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection? Type A Aortic Dissection: Is Transfer Hazardous or Beneficial?

Abstract

In this study, it was found that interhospital transfer did not influence the surgical outcomes of patients with acute type A aortic dissection. As such, it can be concluded that the transfer of the patients with type A aortic dissection to tertiary hospitals with experienced cardiac surgical teams may not increase the surgical risk.
