Surgical Results of Acute Aortic Dissection Complicated With Cerebral Malperfusion

The results of surgical treatment for acute type A dissection complicated with cerebral malperfusion demonstrated high hospital mortality, but the long-term survival was similar to patients without cerebral malperfusion, with an acceptable neurologic outcome, excluding preoperative coma patients. Appropriate protection of ischemic brain tissue should be implemented to improve the surgical results in these patients.
