Figure 1. Boxplot analysis of neoaortic root dimensions indexed to square root of BSA demonstrating an abrupt increase in neoaortic annulus from preoperative pulmonary annulus, at 1 month after surgery. Neoaortic annulus diameter remain increased from preoperative pulmonary annulus at 12 and 18 months. Data are represented within the "box" depicting maximum and minimum values with standard deviation bars, and the horizontal thick line represents median. Range is represented with dashed lines.
Legend: PPA= preoperative pulmonary annulus; AoA= neoaortic annulus; BSA= body surface area; cm= centimeters; m2= square meters; n= number of patients; p= p - value.
