1 Influence of patent false lumen on long-term outcome after surgery for acute type A aortic dissection  Naoyuki Kimura, MD, Masashi Tanaka, MD, Koji Kawahito, MD, Atsushi Yamaguchi, MD, Takashi Ino, MD, Hideo Adachi, MD  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 136, Issue 5, Pages e3 (November 2008) DOI: /j.jtcvs Copyright © 2008 The American Association for Thoracic Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Segment-specific aortic growth plotted for patients with and without residual patent false lumen. The individual plots end if either distal reoperation occurred or follow-up (death or final follow-up) ended. Patent group, n = 94; thrombosed group, n = 45. FL, False lumen.

4 Kapla n–Meier curves. A, Freedom from distal aortic reoperation in all survivors including patients with DeBakey type II aortic dissection (n = 226). B, Actuarial survival in all patients including those with DeBakey type II aortic dissection (including in-hospital deaths, n = 243).
