abstract = {Background: To investigate whether Elevated D-dimer increases the risk of dialysis after surgery in patients with Stanford A aortic dissection.
Methods: A total of 120 patients with type A aortic dissection who underwent surgery at our institution from August 2014 to December 2015 were enrolled in the study. Acute type A aortic dissection was treated with Sun’s operation. Blood samples were collected before anesthesia induction, 4 hours after surgery, and 24 hours after surgery. Patients were divided into two groups according to their D-dimer levels. Group A had D-dimer concentrations below 3,000 µg/L; Group B had D-dimer concentrations above 3,000 µg/L.
Results: Group A (n=99; 82.5% of total patients) had D-dimer levels below 3,000 µg/L. Eighteen patients in Group A (18.18%) died within 30 days after surgery. Group B (n=21; 18.5% of total patients) had D-dimer levels above 3,000 μg/L. Seven patients in Group B (28%) died within 30 days after surgery. A significantly higher percentage of patients in Group B had acute renal failure and the application of continuous renal replacement therapy (P=0.02). There were significant differences between the groups in intraoperative blood loss (P=0.001) and hemostatic drugs administered, such as intraoperative prothrombin complex (P=0.015). The D-dimer (P},
