Popis: Objectives Outcome in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is improved with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Patients with acute aortic dissection type A (AAD) often present with similar symptoms and may therefore be prescribed DAPT before diagnosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of antiplatelet therapy (APT) prior to AAD surgery and patient outcome, including indications according to the European Society of Cardiology’s (ESC) recent guidelines. Design A retrospective, observational study. Setting A tertiary University Hospital, Rigshospitalet, Heart Centre, Copenhagen, Denmark. Participants The study included 171 patients operated for AAD during 2010 to 2014. Interventions The independent relationship of preoperative APT was explored on 30-day mortality, intraoperative bleeding and perioperative transfusion requirements. Furthermore, the indications for APT were obtained. Measurements and Main Results Patients receiving APT (n = 73) did not have an increased 30-day mortality (29% v 20%, p = 0.18). However, APT increased intraoperative bleeding by 45% (p
