2024年12月4日 · Aortic dissection is the prototype and most common form of acute aortic syndromes and a type of arterial dissection. It occurs when blood enters the medial layer of the aortic wall through a tear or penetrating ulcer in the intima and tracks longitudinally along with the media , forming a second blood-filled channel (false lumen) within the ...

Aortic Dissection on Ultrasound. An aortic dissection occurs when a tear in the arterial intima allows blood, under high systolic pressures, to dissect along the arterial media and create a “false lumen” in the aorta. The dissection can travel in an anterograde or retrograde direction.

2024年6月1日 · Aortic dissection (AD) is a rare and potentially fatal condition that may be diagnosed late. During an emergency or elective abdominal ultrasound (US) examination, when going to evaluate the abdominal aorta for other reasons, it may happen that we find ourselves suspecting an AD.

3 天之前 · The suprasternal notch view is a valuable tool for assessing the aorta and identifying signs of thoracic aortic dissection. Proper technique is essential to obtain a clear image and improve diagnostic accuracy. ... Adduci A, Stone MB, Rempell JS. Evaluation of the Aortic Arch from the Suprasternal Notch View Using Focused Cardiac Ultrasound. J ...

undulating flap is a very specific sign of aortic dissection, and it should be visualized in both transversal and longitudinal planes (Figure 1 and Videos S1 and S2).14 The visualization of flow in both lumens by color Doppler strengthens the diagnostic hypothesis of dissection aiding the sonographer to rule out false positives

2020年3月2日 · On computed tomography angiography, the visualization of a double lumen and an intimal flap of the aorta are classical signs of aortic dissection. Other signs that indicate the true and false lumens as seen by computed tomography angiography are …

2022年11月21日 · Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) was performed, which demonstrated the following: PARASTERNAL LONG AXIS VIEW WITH DISSECTION FLAP VISIBLE IN THE PROXIMAL ASCENDING AORTA. PARASTERNAL SHORT AXIS VIEW WITH DISSECTION FLAP VISIBLE IN THE DESCENDING THORACIC AORTA.

2024年2月23日 · The beak sign of arterial dissection is the acute angle formed at the edge of the false lumen in aortic dissection in axial cross-section. It is formed by the borders of the outer aortic wall and the intimal flap, and may be partially thrombosed (blunted beak). It is a reliable characteristic that helps in distinguishing from the true lumen.

Bedside ultrasound was done immediately and the images are shown below. As you can see, there is a view of the dissection flap which CT confirmed as a type A aortic dissection. The patient was on nicardipine and taken to the OR within 70 minutes from arrival to the ED and is currently recuperating in the Grady ICU.

Aortic dissection (AD) occurs when an ... or ultrasound used to confirm and further evaluate the dissection. [1] The two main types are Stanford type A, which involves the first part of the aorta, and type B, ... The "calcium sign" describes an apparent separation of the intimal calcification from the outer aortic margin by greater than 10 mm.
