Aortic disease is a serious, often life-threatening condition. The keys to instituting appropriate therapy in diseases of the aorta include accurate and rapid diagnosis and anatomical assessment. Endovascular aortic repair is a new alternative to conventional surgical approaches. Because arterial rupture is a risk of this procedure, appropriate facilities for resuscitation must be present during the procedure. This paper reviews the important aspects of aortic anatomy, echocardiographic imaging of the thoracic aorta, aortic pathology, endovascular surgery, and the role of echocardiography in the evaluation of the surgical outcome.
主动脉疾病是一种严重的、常常危及生命的病症。对主动脉疾病实施恰当治疗的关键包括准确、快速的诊断及解剖学评估。血管腔内主动脉修复术是传统外科手术方法之外的一种新选择。由于动脉破裂是该手术的一种风险，手术过程中必须具备适当的复苏设施。本文综述了主动脉解剖学、胸主动脉的超声心动图成像、主动脉病理学、血管腔内手术以及超声心动图在评估手术结果中的作用等重要方面。
