Abstract:
:Six patients with acute Type A aortic dissection were medically treated due to advanced age, patient refusal and comorbidity despite surgical indication. Computed tomography after onset revealed a thrombosed false lumen in 3 patients and a patent false lumen with flap in 3 patients. All patients were stable during admission except 1 patient who presented with shock. After admission, treatment including strict control of systolic blood pressure was started according to a predetermined treatment strategy. All patients had no significant complications during hospitalization. All patients survived and returned to their usual activities. Medical treatment for stable elderly patients is a possible therapeutic option for acute Type A aortic dissection.
