Objective: Evaluate sex differences in patients undergoing repair of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). Methods: Sex-stratified, single-center cohort study of patients undergoing ATAAD repair from 1997 to 2022. The primary outcome was aortic diameter at time of presentation with ATAAD. Secondary outcomes were mortality, myocardial infraction, stroke, hemodialysis, tracheostomy, re-exploration for bleeding, a composite of major adverse events, and long-term survival. Results: In 390 consecutive patients (150 women), men were younger than women (61.0 years; interquartile range [IQR], 50-70 years vs 70.5 years; IQR, 59-78 years; P
