(A) Morphologic analysis of the primary three symptomatic chronic type B aortic dissection cases with the longest follow-up obtained from CT scans, preoperative, postoperative, and at the latest follow-up. All geometries comprised aortic branches and true and false lumens. Pre-op indicates preoperative; post-op, postoperative; FU, follow-up. The alterations in true lumen volume (B), false lumen volume (C), true lumen diameter at the plane of maximum compression (D), and the false lumen index (E) of all 16 symptomatic chronic type B aortic dissections obtained from CT scans, preoperative, postoperative, and at the latest follow-up. PMC indicates the plane of maximum compression.
