Figure 2 Incremental utility of BAV risk score, aortic root size, and BAV surgery. Results were similar if ascending aortic dimensions were entered into the model instead of aortic root dimensions.

Figure 3 Hazard ratios (with 95% confidence intervals) for primary events, plotted against various ascending aortic (root or proximal ascending) cutoffs for undergoing concomitant AAR. The figure demonstrates that an aortic size ≥4.5 cm with no concomitant AAR was associated with a higher hazard for primary events. However, if a cutoff of ≥4 cm was used for ascending aortic surgery, the association with primary events was not significant. The reference group was made up of those with aortic dimensions ≤4 cm.
