The purpose of this study was to investigate predictors for mortality among patients presenting with acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) and to create a predictive model to estimate individual risk of in-hospital mortality using the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD).

The aim of this retrospective analysis was to investigate the effect of changing the CPB prime constituents on fluid balance and clinical outcome parameters.
