Significant unfavorable geometrical changes in ascending aorta despite stable diameter at follow-up

CONCLUSIONS: Maximum diameter provides a local description for the ascending aorta and cannot fully portray the pathological process across this vessel. Following-up the diameter is not suggestive of length, surface, volume and tortuosity changes.PMID:37931701 | DOI:10.1016/j.hjc.2023.10.007
