The observation that dissection itself increases aortic diameter suggests that prophylactic intervention thresholds should be lowered.
The aortic diameter increases substantially due to aortic dissection itself and, thus, aortas are being dissected at clinically meaningfully smaller sizes than natural history analyses have previously suggested. These findings have important implications regarding the size at which the risk of dissection is increased.
