The continuous variables were compared between the two groups using <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>-test and the categorical variables were compared using the \u03c7<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>-test. A meta-analysis was used to produce pooled odds ratios for early and follow-up outcomes. The random effects models were applied. A statistical analysis was performed using R software v.4.1.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Result<\/jats:title><jats:p>A comprehensive literature search found 490 citations published within the predetermined time span of the analysis. Three studies including 1,193 patients (acute group 718, subacute group 475) were finally included for downstream meta-analysis. An acute uTBAD group presented with higher rates both in 30-day complications (20.5 vs. 13.7%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.014) and mortality (4.6 vs. 1.3%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.004) than subacute group. The respiratory complications were significantly higher in the acute group than in the subacute group (10.8 vs. 5.0%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.015). The procedure success rate (90.8 vs. 93.6%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.329), the follow-up mortality (7.7 vs. 7.6%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 1) and dissection-related late mortality (3.9
