Figure 1 Kaplan–Meier curves regarding 198 distal aortic repairs in patients with chronic DeBakey type I aortic dissection showing (A) survival estimate, (B) freedom from repair failure, (C) freedom from reintervention for disease progression, and (D) freedom from repair failure or reintervention for disease progression.

Figure E1 Actuarial survival stratified by extent II TAAA repair versus all other repairs (A) and by genetic disorder versus no genetic disorder (B). Patients in both of these selected subgroups were substantially younger when they underwent distal aortic repair—median ages were 51.8 versus 58.7 years and 47.1 versus 62.0 years, respectively. The comparisons were computed using the log rank (Mantel–Cox), Breslow (generalized Wilcoxon), and Tarone–Ware tests; the P value reported is derived from the log-rank test.
