Figure 5:
A 62-year-old female with a DeBakey type I dissection following an aortic valve repair plus ascending prosthetic graft replacement. Preoperative computed tomography angiography (A) with multiplanar (B) and volume rendering 3D (C) reconstructions shows the entry tear (A, white arrow) in the ascending aorta with a dilated false lumen and a non-collapsed true lumen. Postoperative computed tomography angiography with multiplanar (D) and volume rendering 3D (E) shows the complete remodeling in the ascending aorta with the complete thrombosis of the false lumen (orange area). FL: false lumen; TL: true lumen.
