2. Fig
Percent aortic coverage. Each of the 94 patients in this study is represented by a single bar in this figure and numbered 1 to 94 accordingly. Patients are presented sorted by coverage extent and not chronological order for ease of interpretation. The open white bars represent proximal and/or distal uncovered aortic segments, measured as a percent of total aortic length. The blue shaded bar represents the percent of aorta covered with the thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) devices. Patients requiring debranching procedures are noted by the blue (arch debranching) and purple (abdominal debranching) highlighted circles overlying the patient numbers. The solitary paraplegia patient, number 37, is also denoted with a red highlighted circle.
