Importance of Distal Residual False Lumen Size After Surgery for DeBakey Type I Aortic Dissection: Is It What We All Suspect?

This study aimed to evaluate if, in patients undergoing surgery following DeBakey Type I aortic dissection, the maximum area of the false lumen in the distal thoracic aorta predicts late aortic dilation and the need for reintervention.
