Impact of High-Resolution Epiaortic Ultrasonographic Imaging on Evaluating Aortic Wall Pathology

There has been no definitive method, other than pathological findings, to identify the degeneration of the tunica media in the aortic wall (TM). We describe how high-resolution intraoperative epiaortic ultrasonographic imaging identifies changes in the TM of patients with aortic dissection. This met...

Sumario:There has been no definitive method, other than pathological findings, to identify the degeneration of the tunica media in the aortic wall (TM). We describe how high-resolution intraoperative epiaortic ultrasonographic imaging identifies changes in the TM of patients with aortic dissection. This method shows great promise in facilitating presymptomatic diagnoses of various aortic wall pathologies.
