Abstract: With the population aging, the prevalence rate of cardiovascular diseases in China continues to rise, among which, the mortality rate of aortic diseases is high, the treatment is difficult, and the risk is high. In recent years, the surgical treatment of aortic diseases in China has developed rapidly, and the overall scale has been increasing. This paper introduces the current status of treatment of aortic diseases in China, analyzes the medical quality of endovascular surgery and open surgery, including the number of operations, patient characteristics, mortality, readmission rate and other indicators, and compares the differences among different regions. In addition, advances in the treatment of aortic disease are discussed, including surgical methods, evaluation of effectiveness, and application of new technologies. Overall, China has made some progress in the treatment of aortic diseases, but it still faces the challenge of uneven distribution of medical resources and improvement of medical quality.
