Modeling indicates that more than 90% of patients had aortic root and ascending aorta diameter <45 mm. It seems that the aortic diameter expansion over the 55 mm in development of acute aortic dissection is overestimated. Parameters other than aortic size were identified, which may be considered when patients at high risk for dissection were identified.
