Figure 1. CT findings: a, Before thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), the false lumen was patent, and the arrow indicates the entry at the Th8 level. b, After TEVAR, the entry was closed completely. The false lumen was thrombosed around the entry but patent due to retrograde flow from re-entry.
Figure 2. The relationship between the ABPI and the physiological factors before and after exercise. a, Before TEVAR, the right ABPI was 1.00 at rest at a left brachial BP 127/69 mmHg, but it dropped significantly to 0.23 at 1 minute after exercise at a left brachial BP 146/78 mmHg and recovered to 0.84 at 5 minutes after exercise at a left brachial BP 126/64 mmHg. The left ABPI and HR remained stable, regardless of exercise. b, After TEVAR, the right ABPI significantly improved throughout the test.
