Type-A Aortic Dissection Repair in Patients With Prior Cardiac Surgery

Previous cardiac surgery itself was not an independent predictor for adverse events, although the small sample size precludes definite conclusions. Previous cardiac surgery should not deter from emergency surgery.PMID:35688205 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.05.033
