Acute type A aortic dissection is an emergency associated with up to 30% of hospital mortality. It has been established that outcomes are improved with specialist aortic team care in high-volume centres. Most centres are limited to a small number of aortic specialists, thus making it logistically impractical to have a dedicated 24/7 single-centre service. In 2011, a rotational 24/7 service between 3 centres covering a geographical location was introduced including 24/7 access to a dissection 'Hotline'.
