Key result
In patients with aortic dissection, significant positive correlations were found between ascending aorta diameter and age, and between cardiothoracic ratio and heart width.
Why the study?
Aortic dissection has a low incidence but high mortality, prompting evaluation of its demographic, vascular pathologic, and radio-anatomic features and their relationships with the condition.
Comparison
Patients divided into De Bakey Type I, Type II, and Type III groups

In a small cohort of patients with aortic dissection, significant correlations were observed between De Bakey dissection types and specific radio-anatomic parameters measured by multidetector CT.
Öner et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Aortic dissection (n=13). Aortic dissection (De Bakey classification) was evaluated on Correlation between ascending aorta diameter and age (r=0.762, p=0.002). In patients with aortic dissection, significant positive correlations were found between ascending aorta diameter and age, and between cardiothoracic ratio and heart width.
