Outcomes of type A acute aortic dissection with cardiopulmonary arrest: Tokyo Acute Aortic Super-network Registry

Abstract

Patients with type A AAD presenting with CPA exhibited extremely high rates of death. Patient outcomes following in-hospital CPA tended to be better than those following out-of-hospital CPA; however, this difference was not significantly different. To prevent deaths, aortic surgery, when possible, should be considered in patients with type A AAD who sustained CPA.
