Brief Summary

The study examined the clinical characteristics and conditions of care for patients with acute aortic syndrome (AAS) that will identify patients at risk for increased morbidity and mortality and provide a basis for the eventual achievement of specific studies on the optimal therapeutic management according to different risk profiles. The aim of the Observatory is to provide a photograph "size" of practices in France at present, both in the larger centers than in smaller and optimize diagnostic and therapeutic currently available by the activation pathways of rational management.
