    Changes in suprarenal (A) and infrarenal (B) diameters plotted against time between measures on first and final postoperative CTs. Actual changes are in whole millimeters; changes are randomly “jittered” on this plot to more clearly separate points. Lines correspond to estimated mean rates of change per year of 0.18 mm (A) and 0.16 mm (B).
