Abstract

Recent reports document a high rate of readmission after hospitalization for acute aortic syndromes (AAS) that include acute aortic dissections (AD), intramural hematomas (IMH), or penetrating aortic ulcers (PAU). We examined the rate of return to the emergency department (ED) to better understand the utilization of emergent health care services after AAS.
