Time critical diagnoses and transfers of patients with acute type A aortic dissection in the <scp>UK</scp> : national audit of current practice*
This audit provides a snapshot of current practice for patients with type A aortic dissection in the UK. Our findings show the acuity, clinical severity and vulnerability of patients with type A aortic dissection, and the deficits in the process of diagnosis and the quality of transfer. This audit demonstrates the need for the implementation of comprehensive, regionally governed, interdisciplinary medical management for every patient with type A aortic dissection.
