Outcomes of AAAD for patients who underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) were evaluated. Between 2004 and 2018, of the 519 patients who underwent AAAD repair, 34 (6.6%) required CPR before or on starting AAAD repair....

We hypothesized that stage 1 AKI following cardiac surgery would independently associate with infection and mortality. In this retrospective propensity score-matched study...
