Abstract

Transesophageal echocardiography has become a commonly used screening tool for traumatic tears of the descending aorta. The role of transesophageal echocardiography for ascending aortic tears is not yet well-defined. We report an ascending aortic tear imaged by aortography but missed on transesophageal echocardiography.

摘要

经食管超声心动图已成为降主动脉创伤性撕裂常用的筛查工具。经食管超声心动图对升主动脉撕裂的作用尚未明确界定。我们报告1例升主动脉撕裂，主动脉造影显示了病变，但经食管超声心动图未检出。
