Abstract
The prompt and appropriate management of acute type A aortic dissections is imperative for patient survival. Advances in medical technology have broadened the adjuncts available to treat the spectrum of pathology within this population. The role of medical management prior to surgical intervention and the components of operative management, including cannulation strategies, neuroprotection, and the extent of aortic intervention, have been explored in-depth within the literature. More recent work has identified novel open and endovascular techniques available to treat acute type A dissections. This review aims to summarize the literature, with a particular focus on innovation in cardiac surgery and its role in the care of this high-risk population.
