N2 - Vascular compromise seen with pulse deficits is common in patients with type A dissection. However, patient characteristics and in-hospital outcomes associated with pulse deficits have not been evaluated. Accordingly, we studied 513 patients (mean age 62 ± 14 years, 65% men) with acute type A aortic dissection enrolled in the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection. Pulse deficits, defined as decreased or absent carotid or peripheral pulses as noted by clinicians and later confirmed by diagnostic imaging, at surgery or at autopsy were noted in 154 patients (30%).
