In each column, each individual patient is listed repeatedly for each of the multiple complications they have experienced; that is, the total number of patients with complications is less than the additive number in each column. DTAA, Descending thoracic aortic aneurysm; TAAA, thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm.
