It is not well known if the size of the ascending thoracic aorta at presentation predicts features of presentation, management, and outcomes in patients with acute type B aortic dissection. The International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD) database was queried for all patients with acute type B dissection who had documentation of ascending thoracic aortic size at time of presentation. Patients were categorized according to ascending thoracic aortic diameters = 4.6 cm. Four hundred eighteen patients met inclusion criteria; 291 patients (69.6%) were men with a mean age of 63.2 +/- 13.5 years. Ascending thoracic aortic diameter = 4.6 cm in 63 patients (15.1%). Patients with an ascending thoracic aortic diameter >= 4.6 cm were more likely to be men (p = 0.01) and have Marfan syndrome (p < 0.001) and known bicuspid aortic valve disease (p = 0.003). In patients with an ascending thoracic aorta cm, there was an increased incidence of surgical intervention (p = 0.013). In those with an ascending thoracic aorta >= 4.6 cm, the root, ascending aorta, arch, and aortic valve were more often involved in surgical repair. Patients with an ascending thoracic aorta
