Abstract 274: Follow-Up of Young Acute Aortic Dissection Patients: How They Differ from Older Patients

Background: Young patients (pts) with acute aortic dissection (AAD) have distinct risk factors and presenting symptoms compared to older pts, but whether these differences extend past discharge is relatively unknown. Methods: Among pts presenting with AAD enrolled in the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection, pts Results: Significant differences in demographics and history were noted between pts Conclusions: Young pts show distinct differences in comparison to older pts, specifically regarding presentation, AAD type and management. Long-term survival and follow-up intervention rates are higher in young pts.
