CONCLUSION
The outcomes of surgical treatment of TAAAD with CM have been improved, and indicate acceptable early mortality and morbidity in this critically ill cohort of patients. It is reasonable to perform lifesaving surgery on patients who present with TAAAD complicated by CM. Early central surgical repair and reperfusion of brain may improve the outcomes. Indeed, clinical trials with large samples are needed.
