Critical appraisal of multidimensional CT measurements following acute open repair of type A aortic dissection

ConclusionAlthough overall reproducibility was acceptable in descending aortic measurements, our results show that it remains challenging to reliably measure luminal diameters, compared with areas. To aid identification of early adverse remodeling following acute TAAD, novel two ‐ and three‐dimensional measurement techniques are needed that capture locoregional changes in the false lumen and true lumen morphology more accurately.
