The purpose of this study was to calculate the changes in the blood flow direction and volume in the aortic lumen and at the entry and re-entry sites using 4-dimensional (4D) phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after performing entry closure with thoracic endovascular aortic repair for chronic DeBakey IIIb aortic dissection.
