Growth Rate Assessed by Vascular Deformation Mapping Predicts Type B Aortic Dissection in Marfan Syndrome
Radial growth and elongation rates of the descending thoracic aorta were independent predictors of TBAD occurrence in MFS. TBAD often occurred at nonaneurysmal diameters (<4.0 cm). These findings emphasize the role of growth over absolute diameter in risk stratification for TBAD in MFS.
