Objective: To examine the role of a key hemodynamic parameter, namely the true and false lumen pressure difference, to predict progressive aortic dilatation following type A aortic dissection (TAAD) repair. Methods: Four patients with surgically repaired TAAD with multiple follow-up computed tomography angiography scans (4-5 scans per patient; N = 18) were included. Through-plane diameter of the residual native thoracic aorta was measured in various aortic segments during the follow up period (mean follow-up: 49.6 ± 31.2 months). Computational flow analysis was performed to estimate true and false lumen pressure difference at the same locations and the correlation with aortic size change was studied using a linear mixed effects model. Results: Greater pressure difference between the true and false lumen was consistent with greater aortic diameter expansion during the follow up period (linear mixed effects analysis; coefficient, 0.26; 95% confidence interval, 0.15-0.37; P |
