Figure 4 Rates of Aorta Dilation

Rates of dilation at the upper and mid descending thoracic aorta in patients with large and small initial false lumen diameters at the upper descending thoracic aorta. Each line connects the initial aorta diameter with the final follow-up aorta diameter for each patient. The 2 groups differed significantly in terms of dilating rates at both the upper and mid descending thoracic aorta.
