2 Background Emergency open surgery is the gold standard for type A acute aortic dissection. Surgical outcomes in elderly patients with type A acute aortic dissection have been poorly defined. Thorough operative risk assessment is difficult in emergency situations. We evaluated early and late outcomes of emergency open surgery for type A acute aortic dissection in the elderly and explored predictors of poor surgical outcomes. Sakakibara Heart Institute

3 Patients Between 01/04 and 06/11, 422 patients underwent emergency open surgery for type A acute aortic dissection at out institution. Of those, we reviewed 124 patients of 75 years or older. We also reviewed 26 patients (≥ 75 years old) who were diagnosed with type A acute aortic dissection during the same period but did not underwent surgery. The diagnosis was made with contrast CT in all patients. Sakakibara Heart Institute

4 Methods Operative death was defined as death within 30 days after surgery or before discharge. Median follow-up period of operative patients was 560 days (range: 3 to 2,534 days). Late survival rates were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. We explored predictors of adverse event (operative death, stroke or length of stay > 30 days) using a stepwise multivariate logistic regression model. Sakakibara Heart Institute

5 Decision-making process for our elderly patients with type A acute aortic dissection 150 elderly patients with type A acute aortic dissection 147 patients with no CPR or successful CPR 136 patients with patent false lumen or dilated ascending aorta (≥ 45mm) 124 patients underwent surgery 12 patients refused surgery 11 patients with fully thrombosed false lumen in the ascending aorta < 45mm 3 patients with unsuccessful CPR Sakakibara Heart Institute

12 Conclusions Emergency open surgery for type A acute aortic dissection in patients of 75 years or older resulted in low mortality but high incidence of stroke. Preoperative cardiopulmonary resuscitation and previous sternotomy were predictors of postoperative adverse event. Our findings may be useful for decision-making in elderly patients with type A acute aortic dissection. Sakakibara Heart Institute
