Significant proportions of aortic dissections occur at aortic diameters <5.5 cm. By indexing aortic area to height and correlating with absolute aortic diameter, we sought to identify those aneurysm patients with aortic diameters <5.5 cm who do not meet current size thresholds for surgery, yet with corresponding abnormal indexed aortic areas (IAAs) >10 cm2/m, are at increased risk of aortic complications.
