Kaplan-Meier predicted survival estimates by age for a hypothetical 40-year-old patient (blue solid line), 60-year-old patient (red dashed line), and 80-year-old patient (green broken line) undergoing acute type A aortic dissection repair with no root replacement and no arch replacement who did not require reintervention over the study period.

Kaplan-Meier analysis of survival after acute type A aortic dissection repair, stratified by type of proximal aortic repair: no root (blue solid line), or root (red dashed line). Log rank comparison between strata = 0.69.
