Aortic dissection is a serious cardiovascular disease characterized by acute onset and high mortality rates. Although advancements in surgical techniques and anesthesia methods have significantly reduced surgical mortality, postoperative complications, particularly pulmonary complications, remain a challenge for the recovery of patients with aortic dissection. Existing studies indicate that respiratory rehabilitation plays a crucial role in preventing and alleviating postoperative pulmonary complications, and its application is gradually expanding. However, current understanding of respiratory rehabilitation treatment for patients with aortic dissection is still insufficient, and there is a lack of standardized protocols in clinical practice. This article aims to review the existing research evidence, comprehensively analyze common pulmonary complications after aortic dissection surgery, their pathogenesis, the latest advancements in perioperative respiratory rehabilitation, and the main challenges faced, in order to provide references for clinical practice and future research.
