Brief Summary: Management strategy of malperfusion syndrome in acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) patients remains controversial, with different views on when the surgery should be offered. At present, the mortality of ATAAD patients complicated with malperfusion is stubbornly high.

The purpose of this study is to improve the outcomes of ATAAD with malperfusion syndrome. The investigators formulated tailored management strategies for malperfused patients based on the duration of symptoms onset.
Detailed Description: ATAAD complicated with malperfusion syndrome Malperfusion syndrome is the most devastating complication of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), which has a poor clinical outcome and has operative mortality ranging from 29% to 89%. However, different views on management of malperfusion exist, with debating on addressing the dissection or the organ malperfusion in priority.

Current different treatment strategies for ATAAD with malperfusion syndrome Immediate central repair, restoration of true lumen flow and depressurization of the false lumen, is the most widely practiced approaches for treating ATAAD regardless of malperfusion syndrome. Nevertheless, with very high operative mortality by the conventional approach for patients with malperfusion, several studies have suggested that patients undergo endovascular reperfusion first until the malperfusion resolves, followed by delayed central repair. This strategy has produced better outcomes for patients, however, it also carries risks of interim mortality due to aortic rupture or multiple-organ failure before central repair. Moreover, a recent study suggested an alternative strategy, which performed aortic surgery and endovascular reperfusion in a hybrid approach for static malperfusion or dynamic malperfusion symptoms more than 6 hours symptoms onset. This alternative strategy improved outcomes with a mortality rate of 16.7%, which was still a little bit high. Overall, the outcomes of ATAAD patients with malperfusion syndrome still need to be improved.

Tailored management strategies The tailored management strategies were: for malperfused patients with symptom onset within 6 hours, the immediate central repair was performed followed by repeat CTA postoperatively, and endovascular reperfusion was applied if the malperfusion persisted. While for patients with symptom onset beyond 6 hours, delayed central repair were performed after the organ functions improved.

Study Rationale As noted above, malperfusion syndrome is a rapidly lethal condition that every cardiovascular surgeon is faced with at some point. Despite the optimization of approaches for ATAAD presented with malperfusion in recent years, there appears to be some room to improve our outcomes even further. The investigators believe that the tailored management strategies, which aimed at reducing the duration of end-organ ischemia, may provide a promising treatment option for these patients. However, further prospective study and follow-up data are necessary to confirm the efficacy and safety of this new strategy.
