Especially cardiovascular echo plays an important role in the primary evaluation of patients with suspicious aortic dissections, and the detection of a flap in the aorta can be a key to its diagnosis. Blaivas et al. reported on an ultrasonographic sign of dissection of the ascending aorta in ...
Acute aortic regurgitation (AR) differs from chronic AR in several important ways. The aetiology is often very different: infective endocarditis and aortic dissection are the most frequent causes of acute severe AR; less often it occurs as a complication of transcatheter procedures or blunt chest tr...
(ascending aorta) or arch dissections. To be thorough, thesonographershould also slide upwards or move up an interspace from the standard parasternal windows to try to visualize as much of the ascending aorta as possible. If a dissection flap is identified, one should try to track the tissue...
These linear echo densities have characteristic features which distinguish them from a true intimal flap (septum). Their recognition is critical in avoiding false positive transesophageal echocardiography findings. The general consensus on operations for ascending aorta and aortic arch dissection is that ...

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed which showed no evidence of aortic dissection. However, it did demonstrate a pericardial effusion that extended to the aortic arch. This case shows how pericardial effusions can simulate the appearance of an aortic dissection because of its extension to...
摘要: Aortic dissection is one of several complications that can be seen late after repair of aortic coarctation. We report an unusual presentation of this complication, and review the pertinent literature.关键词: adult coarctation post-op aortic dissection ...
