3 Fig 2 Multidetector computed tomographic scans of a male patient during 4 years of follow-up after frozen elephant trunk surgery with the E-vita open-stent graft for chronic type A aortic dissection. (A, D) Computed tomographic scans at 6 years after acute dissection of the aorta and proximal aortic repair. In the covered thoracic aorta, a stable thrombosis of the false lumen, combined with shrinkage of the false lumen, was observed after 1 year (B) and 4 years (C). In the abdominal aorta the false lumen remained patent, with a stable aortic diameter after 1 year (E) and after 4 years (F).
