Multicenter StudyHow does the ascending aorta geometry change when it dissects?
The purpose of this study is to delineate changes in aortic geometry and diameter due to dissection. ⋯ Geometry of the thoracic aorta is affected by aortic dissection, leading to an increase in diameter that is most pronounced in the ascending aorta. Both spontaneous and retrograde dissection result in similar aortic geometry changes.
