OBJECTIVESAlthough a tear-oriented strategy has contributed to improving short-term surgical outcomes of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), long-term clinical influences of residual entry tear in the downstream aorta have not been fully investigated. The goal of this study was to assess the long-term surgical outcomes of ATAAD with or without a residual entry tear in the downstream aorta.METHODSMedical records of 1107 patients with ATAAD who underwent emergency surgery between 1990 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. A tear-oriented paradigm was adopted for the baseline strategy. The 837 patients in whom the entry tears were resected comprised the resected group, and the 270 patients with a residual entry tear comprised the residual group. Of these patients, 252 in each group were analysed using propensity score matching, and long-term outcomes were compared with or without residual entry.RESULTSHospital deaths were lower in the resected group (3.2% vs 8.3%;P= 0.020). The survival rate was not significantly different between the groups: It was 83.8% and 68.5% in the resected group and 80.2% and 66.5% in the residual group at 5 and 10 years, respectively (P= 0.600). However, residual entry in the downstream aorta affected the distal aortic event-free survival rate (90.4% and 80.6% in the resected group and 82.3% and 67.4% in the residual group at 5 and 10 years, respectively;P= 0.003). Furthermore, multivariable risk analysis of 1107 patients confirmed that a residual entry in the downstream aorta was a risk factor for distal aortic events.CONCLUSIONSThe tear-oriented strategy remains the gold standard for high-risk patients; however, the extensive operation might be considered for stable patients to reduce long-term aortic events.
