4 Figure 3 A 54-year-old woman presented with a true lumen compression 4 months after the initial dissection. The preoperative CT scan showed an entry tear in the mid-descending aorta (arrow, A) with a thick intimal flap. The true lumen was extremely reduced in size (arrows, B) with subsequent renal ischemia, as confirmed by preoperative angiography. Of note, the right kidney was perfused by the false lumen (arrows, C). The true lumen enlarged significantly immediately after endograft deployment (arrows, D). At 1 year follow-up, the CT scan shows a thrombosis of the false lumen and a satisfactory expansion of the true lumen (E). The bypass to the kidney remains patent on 3D reconstructions (F).

5 Figure 4 Chronic dissection (A) is characterized by a thickened, less mobile septum and multiple mature fenestrations between the true and false lumens, making the aorta less susceptible to remodeling than is seen with acute aortic dissection (B).
