[6,21]. Current guidelines recommend TTE to be used for serial measurements of aortic root and evaluation of the thoracicaortic aneurysm. However, TTE should be combined with other imaging modalities to assess the entire aorta[1,5,6]. Meanwhile, suprasternal aortic view is mandatory, having ...
Ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (ATAA) is a chronic degenerative pathology characterized by dilatation of the ascending thoracic segment of the aorta [1]. The rupture of ATAA leads to a potentially lethal emergency with a pre-hospital mortality of 40%, followed by an increased chance of death...
