Overview

Urgent specialist referral remains essential in suspected cases; leaves open prospective validation of timing and TEVAR selection in real-world cohorts.

Key Points

This research aims to update the diagnosis and management strategies for acute aortic syndromes.
Developed a comprehensive flowchart for decision-making based on pre-test sensitivity of acute aortic syndromes.
Recommended standard interventions including urgent surgery for Type A AAD and medical therapy for Type B AAD.
Highlighted the importance of education/prevention programs to improve awareness of acute aortic syndromes.
Emphasis on the need for a highly specialized aortic team for timely interventions.
In complicated Type B AAD, thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is generally indicated.
Education on acute aortic syndromes is urgently needed to improve diagnostics and patient outcomes.

Structured PICO
