Weekend Effect and Mortality Outcomes in Aortic Dissection: A Prospective Analysis.

Background: Aortic dissection (AD) is a critical heart condition with potentially severe outcomes. Our study aimed to investigate the existence of a "weekend effect" in AD by examining the correlation between patient outcomes and whether their treatment occurred on weekdays versus weekends.

Methods: Specifically, we prospectively analysed the effect of weekday and weekend treatment on acute AD patient outcomes, both before surgical intervention and during hospitalization, for 124 patients treated from 2019-2021, as well as during 6 months of follow-up.

Acute Aortic Syndromes from Diagnosis to Treatment-A Comprehensive Review.

This work aims to provide a comprehensive description of the characteristics of a group of acute aortic diseases that are all potentially life-threatening and are collectively referred to as acute aortic syndromes (AASs). There have been recent developments in the care and diagnostic plan for AAS. A substantial clinical index of suspicion is required to identify AASs before irreversible fatal consequences arise because of their indefinite symptoms and physical indicators.
