Key Points
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea had similar in-hospital mortality rates after aortic dissection repair compared to those without OSA.
Diaphragmatic paralysis was significantly more common in patients with OSA, occurring in 0.86% compared to 0.21% in non-OSA patients.
OSA patients exhibited lower rates of pericardial complications (12.04% vs 19.02%) and cardiogenic shock (11.40% vs 18.21%) after surgery.
Despite being a risk factor for aortic dissection, OSA does not significantly impact short-term surgical outcomes, warranting additional long-term studies.
