About this Research Topic
Despite tremendous advances in surgical techniques, type A aortic dissection (TAAD) remains a condition with high mortality. The management of patients with TAAD not only serves as a surgical issue, but also is closely related to a variety of medical problems during the perioperative period. The so-called malperfusion syndrome occurs frequently, even before surgery. In addition, multiple adverse events, such as stroke, acute kidney injury and severe infection, often mean that even with surgery, the prognosis of these patients is still uncertain. Recent analysis of The International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD) also revealed that surgical patients with TAAD were more likely to die of multiorgan failure. As a result, interdisciplinary efforts must be made to improve the overall perioperative care so that the best result can be achieved. It is important to discuss methods, tools and strategies associated with the diagnosis, evaluation, risk stratification, and management plans of TAAD patients from various perspectives, including, cardiac surgery, intensive care and anesthesiology.
In this Research Topic, we would like to bring together an interdisciplinary team of prestigious cardiac surgeons, intensive care specialists and cardiologists globally to discuss and share current advances and future directions on novel diagnostic methods, risk stratification for both preoperative and postoperative patients, predictions of prognosis, as well as management of postoperative complications in patients with Type A aortic dissection.
This Research Topic considers articles on the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of disorders throughout the perioperative period of Type A aortic dissection. We welcome clinical studies and translational studies with significant clinical values that provide insight into current advances. Sub-topics include, but are not limited to:
- Novel diagnostic methods for Type A aortic dissection
- Risk stratification tools during the perioperative period (e.g. bio-markers, machine learning models, etc.)
- Anesthetic strategies (e.g. cerebral protection)
- Management of perioperative complications (e.g. stroke, acute kidney injury, etc)
- Pathophysiological advances with important clinical implications
The Topic Editors welcome the submission of original articles, systematic reviews, reviews, perspectives, and study protocols.
