1 Natural history of thoracic aortic aneurysms: indications for surgery, and surgical versus nonsurgical risks  John A Elefteriades, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 74, Issue 5, Pages S1877-S1880 (November 2002) DOI: /S (02)

2 Fig 1 (A) Influence of aortic size on cumulative, lifetime incidence of natural complications of aortic aneurysm. On the y-axis is plotted the incidence of natural complications (rupture or dissection). On the x-axis is plotted the aortic size. This plot is for the ascending aorta. Note the hinge point at 6 cm. (B) The same plot, for the descending aorta. Note the hinge point at 7 cm. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , S1877-S1880DOI: ( /S (02) )

3 Fig 2 Graphic representation of cumulative natural risks of rupture, dissection, or death posed by aneurysms of various sizes. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , S1877-S1880DOI: ( /S (02) )
