Development of a scoring system for the involvement of supra-aortic vessel in patients with type A aortic dissection

Key Points

• Postoperative stroke risk can be effectively evaluated using the new scoring system, indicating better patient management.
• The scoring system provides additional predictive value for both postoperative death and delayed awakening outcomes in this population.
• Assessment using the newly developed scoring system demonstrates substantial improvements over traditional evaluation methods.
• Further validation could enhance clinical protocols for managing patients with type A aortic dissection and associated risks.
