Summary

This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) program can improve follow-up care for people who had emergency surgery for a torn aorta (aortic dissection). About 1,314 adults will be randomly assigned to either standard follow-up or AI-guided follow-up, where the AI predicts risk and prompts extra check-ups for high-risk patients. The main goal is to see if the AI approach lowers the chance of death within one year after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

AI prediction model-guided intensified follow-up strategy

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that AI-driven follow-up reduces deaths and complications after aortic dissection surgery, leading to better long-term care.

What could go wrong

This trial is not yet recruiting and is early-stage. The AI model may not improve outcomes over standard care, and results may not apply to all patients.
