Davies RR, Gallo A, Coady MA, Tellides G, Botta DM, Burke B, Coe MP, Kopf GS, Elefteriades JA. Novel measurement of relative aortic size predicts rupture of thoracic aortic aneurysms. Ann Thorac Surg 2006;81:169-77.
After publication of the above-referenced article in the January 2006 issue of The Annals, Dr Michael A. Coady wrote to correct the legend to Table 5 (Risk of Complications by Aortic Diameter and Body Surface Area With Aortic Size Index Given Within Chart). The low-risk group illustrated with a white background reflects a risk of
4% per year, not
1%.
