Compared with the pre-pandemic era (2019), there was no difference in resource utilisation and clinical outcomes of patients presenting with TAAD during the first year of COVID-19 pandemic (2020). Structural departmental re-configuration and optimal personal protective equipment utilisation warrant maintained satisfactory outcomes in critical healthcare scenarios. Future studies are required to further investigate aortic care delivery during such challenging pandemics.
