Abstract

The purpose – to evaluate the results of the surgical treatment experience of the aortadissecting aneurysms of type A.Material and methods. Surgical treatment of stratified aortic aneurysms of type Aremains one of the most difficult problems in cardiac surgery. The article presentsall experience (947 stratifying aneurysms of type A) of surgical treatment of suchaneurysms by one team. Factors that could have caused the formation of an aorticaneurysm (aortic dissection) have been identified.Results. The total hospital mortality during surgical treatment of a stratified aorticaneurysm type A was 9.7%, in addition to that – 10.1% in the acute stage and 8.4% inthe chronic stage.Conclusions.
