Objective To summarize clinical experience of different surgical strategies for the treatment of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (AD). Methods Clinical data of 197 patients with acute Stanford type A AD who underwent surgical treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University from January 2008 to November 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 131 males and 66 females with their age of 24-77 (51.2±13.9) years. All the patients received magentic resonance imaging (MRI) or aortic CT angiography (CTA) for the establishment of diagnosis. According to different aortic root conditions,ascending aorta replacement,Bentall,Wheat,Cabrol or David procedures were performed. Total arch replacement, hemiarch replacement or simplified total arch replacement was also performed for aortic arch dissection combined with stented elephant trunk implantation. Results A total of 113 patients (57.4%) underwent isolated ascending aorta replacement,67 patients (34.0%) received Bentall procedure,13 patients (6.6%) received Wheat procedure,1 patient(0.5%) received Cabrol procedure,and 3 patients (1.5%) received David procedure. Eighty-two patients (41.6%) underwent total arch replacement combined with stented elephant trunk implantation,77 patients (39.1%) received hemiarch replacement, and the other 41 patients (20.8%) received simplified total arch replacement combined with stented elephant trunk implantation. One patient (0.5%) underwent reexploration for postoperative bleeding. No permanent neurological complication occurred. Thirty-day mortality after surgery was 4.1% (8/197). Follow-up duration was 3-52 (15.9±11.4) months with the follow-up rate of 65.0%. One patient with Marfan syndrome died of abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture 8 months after surgery. Conclusion According to different AD conditions, appropriate surgical strategies can be chosen to achieve satisfactory clinical outcomes for patients with acute Stanford type A AD.
