The DeBakey classification divides Stanford acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) into DeBakey type I (D1) and type II (D2) according to the extent of acute aortic dissection (AAD). Patients with D1- acute aortic dissection had a higher risk of in-hospital mortality than those with D2- acute aortic dissection, suggests a recent study published in the Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery.
Chun-Yu Lin et al from the Department of Medicine, College of Medicine, Chang Gung University, Taoyuan City, Taiwan conducted a retrospective study which aimed to compare the early and late outcomes of D1-AAD and D2-AAD through a propensity score-matched analysis.
