Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Acute type A aortic dissection continues to pose a major clinical challenge due to its sudden and unpredictable nature. Although recent advances have led to the identification of new risk markers, a substantial proportion of patients do not meet the current thresholds for preventive surgery at the time of dissection onset. This underscores the ongoing need to investigate additional mechanisms and risk factors underlying this devastating condition, in order to improve the management and outcomes of aortic dilatation.
Advances in understanding the factors influencing ascending aortic dilatation have enhanced our ability to identify high-risk individuals. Recent discoveries in cellular and molecular changes within the aortic wall, along with insights into altered aortic flow dynamics, have begun to illuminate functional processes that contribute to aortic dilatation and dissection.
In this Special Issue, we aim to present the latest research on the flow dynamics, growth patterns, and risk prediction of acute type A aortic dissection. Through the integration of cutting-edge knowledge and multidisciplinary collaboration, we can make significant strides in addressing this critical clinical problem.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
