Sex differences in acute type A aortic dissection: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Differences in preoperative presentation and subsequent procedure selection between the sexes likely contribute to the disparity in late outcomes. Decision-making for surgical treatment of ATAAD should account for sex-specific risk factors.PMID:35687063 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.22.12273-1
