Representation of the VPW measurement and change in VPW over time. The VPW is the distance between where the left subclavian artery exits the aortic arch and where the superior vena cava crosses the right mainstem bronchus. (a-b) represent CXRs from the same patient at baseline and Day 3, respectively, where the VPW has decreased by 13 mm.
