Summary:IntroductionAcute aortic dissection (AD) is a rare case, but if it occurs rapid diagnosis and treatment are needed. It is currently crucial for AD patients to be transferred to a specialized hospital in a safe and timely manner. However, transportation time does not fully access to affect mortality in these patients.MethodsWe evaluated fifty-one subjects who were suspected aortic dissection between 2010 and 2014 in a hospital without cardiothoracic surgery. Thirty cases of AD confirmed with 64-slice computed tomography (20 cases of Stanford type A and 10 cases of type B) were divided into a high-risk group (eight cases, 8 Stanford type A and zero type B) and a low-risk group (22 cases, 12 Stanford type A and 10 type B) according to the hypotension (systolic blood pressure
