Usefulness of ultrasound in the management of aortic dissection.

Usefulness of ultrasound in the management of aortic dissection. Rev Cardiovasc Med. 2018 Sep 30;19(3):103-109 Authors: Liu F, Huang L Abstract Aortic dissection is an acute large vessel disease characterized by sudden onset, rapid disease progression and high mortality. Color doppler ultrasound analyzed the morphological and hemodynamic status of aortic branches before and after aortic dissection surgery, including carotid, subclavian, renal, celiac, superior mesenteric and iliac arteries. Transthoracic echocardiography, vascular ultrasound, transesophageal echocardiography, intravascular ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography are complementary to aortic multi-slice spiral computed tomography angiography for diagnosis, treatment and prognostic evaluation.
