Aortic pseudoaneurysm after type A aortic dissection: Results of conservative management

The objective of this article is to examine the safety and efficacy of a conservative approach to aortic pseudoaneurysm and to compare this approach to standard surgical treatment. We retrospectively examined 39 patients who had an aortic pseud oaneurysm after ATAAD surgery in order to examine outcomes (baseline characteristics, presentation and freedom from aortic events and mortality).
