Larger pulmonary artery to ascending aorta ratios are associated with decreased survival of patients undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy.

There was a highly significant difference (log-rank P = .001) ( Figure 3 , B ) between patients with smaller PA diameters (≤37 mm; survival probability, 98.0%; 95% CI, 95.3%-100.0%) compared with the patient group with larger diameters (≥38 mm; survival probability, 83.3%, 95% CI, 72.7%-93.9%).
