Factors Influencing Perioperative Mortality in Type A Acute Aortic Dissections Operated at Dijon University Hospital

Type A acute aortic dissections are a rare condition whose natural evolution is catastrophic. Global mortality remains high even if it decreased last years. This is probably due to improvement of diagnostic techniques and the evolution of surgical practices. It is however important to have medical data and statistics obtained in past years in order to better understand the factors influencing peroperative mortality and thereby to continue this improvement.
