Improvement of early outcomes in type A acute aortic syndrome after an Aorta Code implementation
CONCLUSIONS: An Aorta Code can be successfully implemented by using a standardized protocol within a hospital network. The number of cases increased, time to diagnosis, transfer and operating room were reduced and 30- day mortality significantly decreased.PMID:37488005 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.07.010
