Figure 1 Kaplan–Meier curve illustrating the 5-year survival of octogenarians who underwent type A dissection repair compared with the age- and sex-matched US population. The asterisk represents the age- and sex-matched controls whose expected survivals were based on US Social Security mortality rates from 2007.
