Impact of preoperative central neurologic dysfunction on patients undergoing emergency surgery for type a dissection
2014, Annals of Vascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :In contrast, the preoperative course, particularly the time to surgery, may influence morbidity and mortality in ascending aortic dissection, as shown by Morimoto et al.15 Mean “admission to surgery time” did not differ significantly between groups, but more neurologically deficient patients had access to surgical care only 6 hours after symptom onset (Table I, part A). Atypical, predominant (or even exclusively) neurologic symptoms will make a proper diagnosis challenging and an initial misdiagnosis may explain the time delay.16,17 Favorable results have been reported in cases of immediate surgical care of comatose (Glasgow Coma Scale <11), but hemodynamically stable, patients.18
