Fig. 1. Box-and-whisker plot shows diameters of aneurysms measured
before hospital discharge (0 year) and at 1-, 2-, and 3-year follow-ups.
Center lines in boxes represent mean values; upper and lower ends of boxes
represent 25th and 75th percentile values, respectively. Ends of error bars
show extreme values.

aneurysm of 6.1 cm at maximal diameter. Contrast-enhanced axial CT scan
obtained after stent-graft repair shows initial thrombus volume before
hospital discharge to be 164 mL.

Fig. 2B. 66-year-old man who presented with descending thoracic aortic
aneurysm of 6.1 cm at maximal diameter. Contrast-enhanced axial CT scans
obtained at 1-year (B) and 2-year (C) follow-ups show thrombus
volume to have decreased to 39 and 31 mL, respectively.
