no longer visible at 6 months, whereas after 1 year, none of them were still visible. The latter is in line with previous research reporting SEDs were still visible in 10% of cases at 12 months follow-up. 5 In conclusion, this is the largest cohort of patients with SEDs to date, demonstrating a 6.7% risk of 1-year cardiac events potentially linked to untreated dissections. In patients with SEDs, dissection length, cavity depth, and proximal reference area were identified as predictors of the DOCE. ARTICLE INFORMATION Affiliations
