Figure 1

Measurements of the aortic dimension. A. The measurements of the diameter of the ascending aorta (AAo) were obtained from the largest diameter in the transverse plane of preoperative CT and the diameter of the descending aorta (DAo) was obtained from the same CT slice. B. The measurements of the aortic root (AoR) were obtained from the diameter of the sinus of Valsalva.
