Figure 4. — The plane of maximum compression is shown in the axial slice in which the maximum compression of the true lumen (TL) is observed preoperatively. (A) In the preoperative scan, the TL (green) is collapsed by compression from the false lumen (FL; red). (B) In the first postoperative scan, the TL (green) was increased after deployment of the MFM with a concomitant decrease of the FL (red). Nonetheless, the false lumen was still larger than the TL. (C) At the latest scan at 36 months, the TL (green) nearly covered the full aortic area, while the FL (red) almost completely disappeared.
