Narrow true lumen favors future complication even in small diameter of type B aortic dissection
A narrow true lumen area at early subacute phase and an enlargement of the false lumen area are potentially good predictors to help us to identify a high-risk subgroup of patients who may benefit from earlier and more aggressive therapy. In particular, a narrow true lumen area is an independent risk factor for the future aorta-related complications, even when the aortic diameter is small.
