An Integrated Approach for Treatment of Acute Type A Aortic Dissection

<i>Background and objective:</i> We reviewed a single-institution experience to verify the impact of surgery during different time intervals on early and late results in the treatment of patients with type A acute aortic dissection (A-AAD). <i>Materials and Methods</i>: From...
