Call to Action to Prevent Venous Thromboembolism in Hospitalized Patients: A Policy Statement From the American Heart Association.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The site of cannulation for repair of ascending aortic dissection remains controversial. We present our experience with ascending aortic cannulation for acute aortic dissection type A. METHODS AND RESULTS:From January 1988 to September 2007, we operated on 242 patients for acute aortic dissection type A. Me...
