Logistic regression-based risk prediction of aortic adverse remodeling following thoracic endovascular aortic repair in patients with aortic dissection

Figure 1 Schematic illustration showing the standardized measurement of true and false lumen diameters at the primary entry tear levels and the T12 level. TL: Ture lumen; FL: False lumen; T12: The twelfth thoracic vertebra.

Figure 2 Representative computed tomography angiography images demonstrating aortic adverse remodeling in the same patient. A: Post-operative computed tomography angiography (CTA) at 1 month after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), showing persistent perfusion within the false lumen of the aorta, with a short-axis diameter of the false lumen measuring 22 mm; B: Post-operative CTA at 6 months after TEVAR demonstrates ongoing perfusion and progressive expansion of the false lumen in the descending aorta, with the short-axis diameter increasing to 32 mm, indicative of adverse aortic remodeling.
