Diagnosis of aortic root dissection by echocardiography.
ed from a previous study from our laboratory."2 widened wall with small changes in transducer angulation or instrument sensitivity. In all but one of our patients, slender valve cusps moved to the periphery of the inner lumen in systole and did not extend to the outer lumen. One patient (Case 5) showed some evidence of thickening of valve cusps and in another thin leaflets were identified, but ...
متن کاملLocalized Aortic Root Dissection Secondary to Contrast Agent Injection: Feasibility of Conservative Follow-up With Echocardiography
Introduction: Iatrogenic aortocoronary dissection (ACD) is a nightmare in interventional cardiology. Although ACD is rarely reported, the real-world prevalence is suspected of being higher due to unreported cases. The right coronary artery (RCA) ostium is involved in the majority of cases, and dissections are usually limited to the aortic sinus in half of the clinical presentat...
متن کاملDetection of aortic dissection by transoesophageal echocardiography.
The diagnostic value of a combination of transoesophageal and transthoracic echocardiography was evaluated in 21 patients with dissection of the aorta. The results were compared with those of computed tomography, aortography, and with findings at operation or necropsy or both. Transthoracic echocardiography identified three of the four patients with type I dissection, two of the five patients w...
متن کاملFalse echocardiographic diagnosis of aortic root dissection in case of abdominal aortic dissection.
A patient with strong clinical and radiological indications of dissection involving the ascending aorta had this "confirmed" on an echocardiogram which showed a typical pattern of double lumen. At necropsy there was dissection of the abdominal aorta but the heavily calcified thoracic aorta was free of dissection. Echocardiography may be useful but not entirely reliable in the diagnosis of disse...
