In the clinical setting, practitioners often hesitate before the use of anti-thrombotic drugs in the acute phase of aortic dissection. Therefore, we examined the clinical course in patients who had already received antithrombotic therapies at the onset of acute aortic dissection, and who were given anti-thrombotic drugs in the acute phase during hospitalization. We retrospectively enrolled 685 consecutive patients with acute aortic dissection (type A\/B: 454\/231), who were transferred to Kurume University Hospital from 2004 to 2020. In types A and B, there were no significant differences between in-hospital mortality with or without antithrombotic therapies at the onset (14.3% vs. 16.4%, p = 0.66 in type A, 2.6% vs. 7.3%, p = 0.29 in type B). Patients in type A who survived more than a day and were treated with anti-thrombotic drugs during hospitalization had significantly lower in-hospital mortality compared with those who received no anti-thrombotic drugs in the acute phase (2.2% vs. 16.1%, p &lt; 0.001), while there was no significant difference between in-hospital mortality in the two type-B groups (2.4% vs. 4.9%, p = 0.48). Although there were variations in response among patients with acute aortic dissection, anti-thrombotic drugs did not worsen in-hospital mortality for patients with acute aortic dissection, indicating that medical staff should not hesitate to administer anti-thrombotic drugs if indicated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics12102322","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,27]],"date-time":"2022-09-27T21:23:27Z","timestamp":1664313807000},"page":"2322","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Use of Anti-Thrombotic Drugs and In-Hospital Mortality in Acute Aortic Dissection Patients"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3610-1615","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kensuke","family":"Hori","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Kurume University School of Medicine, Kurume 830-0011, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nagisa","family":"Morikawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Kurume University School of Medicine, Kurume 830-0011, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eiki","family":"Tayama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiovascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, Kurume University School of Medicine, Kurume 830-0011, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoshihiro","family":"Fukumoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Kurume University School of Medicine, Kurume 830-0011, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4195","DOI":"10.21037\/jtd.2018.06.148","article-title":"One-stage hybrid aortic repair using the frozen elephant trunk in acute DeBakey type I aortic dissection","volume":"10","author":"Goebel","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
