The aim was to develop an optimal cardiac rehabilitation model for this patient population, given the lack of clear guidelines. Additionally, the study aimed to evaluate their one-year survival. Methods: The study included patients referred to the cardiac rehabilitation unit after surgery for acute Stanford type A aortic dissection extending beyond the ascending aorta (a total of 25 patients). The study group was compared with a cohort of patients (a total of 58) who underwent similar cardiac surgery. The main difference was the absence of residual aortic dissection. All patients were assessed on admission to the cardiac rehabilitation unit and at discharge using the 6-min walk test and the Tinetti test. All patients underwent 2\u20133 weeks of rehabilitation following the same protocol; however, the study group had significantly reduced exercise loads. Results: Patients in the study group were admitted to the cardiac rehabilitation unit in a significantly worse functional status compared to the comparison group, but the final assessment showed comparable results for the Tinetti test and the 6-min walk test. There were no differences in one-year survival between the two groups. Conclusions: Early postoperative cardiac rehabilitation in patients after acute aortic dissection significantly improves the functional status of this patient group, and is safe.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14010197","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,1]],"date-time":"2025-01-01T11:24:19Z","timestamp":1735730659000},"page":"197","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Rehabilitation Progress in Patients Following Surgery for Acute Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection Extending Beyond the Ascending Aorta"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Joanna","family":"Nowak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiac Rehabilitation, Cardiac Surgery Clinic, University Hospital No. 2, 70-111 Szczecin, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Medical Rehabilitation and Clinical Physiotherapy, Pomeranian Medical University, 70-204 Szczecin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mariusz","family":"Listewnik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiac Surgery Clinic, Pomeranian Medical University, 70-204 Szczecin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5954-4489","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Ry\u0142","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Rehabilitation and Clinical Physiotherapy, Pomeranian Medical University, 70-204 Szczecin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8484-0899","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jerzy","family":"Pacholewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiac Surgery Clinic, Pomeranian Medical University, 70-204 Szczecin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4337-6476","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iwona","family":"Rotter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Rehabilitation and Clinical Physiotherapy, Pomeranian Medical University, 70-204 Szczecin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"ESC Scientific Document Group (2024). 2024 ESC Guidelines for the management of peripheral arterial and aortic diseases.
