Surgical treatment for acute type A aortic dissection (AAD) complicated by cerebral malperfusion (CM) remains debatable. Worsening of neurologic symptoms and poor quality of life after immediate surgery continue to be cause for concern.

The immediate aortic repair did not have a negative impact on early and midterm neurologic condition in patients with AAD complicated by CM.
