Table 1 AMDS configuration according to the pre-op CT scan measurements of the aortia diameter (adventitia to adventitia) at different zones
From: Implantation of ascyrus medical dissection stent, our first-hand experience
(Zone 1)/proximal aortic diameter: between the innominate and left common carotid artery (mm) | (Zone 4)/distal aortic diameter: at the level of the tracheal bifurcation (mm) | AMDS configuration | Length of device at the specified minimum diameter* (mm) | Length of device at the specified maximum diameter* (mm) |
