Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics and surgical outcomes of acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) in patients younger than 50 years of age.Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 307 patients who consecutively underwent surgical treatment for AAAD in our institute from January 2007 to June 2017. Patients were classified into two groups: the young group with 31 patients aged younger than 50 and the old group with 276 patients aged 50 years or older.Results: In-hospital mortality was similar in both groups (3.2% vs. 9.4%, p=0.19). Overall survival at 5 years was higher in the young group than that in the old group (97% vs. 71%, p=0.017). No significant differences were observed in freedom from aorta-related death and distal aortic reoperation at 5 years (97% vs. 87%, p=0.26; 86% vs. 92%, p=0.093). The percentage of young patients with postoperative patent false lumen at the descending aorta was significantly higher than that of old patients (76% vs. 30%, p
