Sample text

Another potential problem is heavy calcification of the aorta that obscures imaging; therefore, in patients with severe atheromatous disease, the aorta cannot be well imaged. The narrowness of the near field of the sector limits depiction of near-field findings and potentially of their recognition. Availability of 24-hour TEE expertise is a limitation. Because TEE probes have transducers that can be rotated to any degree, there are an infinite number of potential views of the aorta. The standard views that enable a systematic interrogation of the different aortic segments are reduced to short- and long-axis views of three segments of the aorta (Table 3-2).

Figure 2-11. The anterior spinal artery supplies the anterior spinal cord and is fed by branches at several levels, one of which (the artery of Adamkiewicz) originates from the posterior proximal descending aorta. Ductus Diverticulum The ductus diverticulum is the residuum of the distal right fourth aortic arch. It has a variable appearance—generally a tapered or fusiform bulging of the ventromedial aspect of the proximal descending aorta (Fig. 2-12). Figure 2-10. TOP, Volume rendering of MR angiography in AP view (LEFT) and left lateral oblique view (RIGHT).

Other TTE views of potential utility are left posterior thoracic view through the chest wall; left posterior thoracic view through a pleural effusion; parasternal long-axis views, which offer usually at least the size of the aorta but rarely clearly show a dissection flap and which are virtually unable to show intramural hematoma; and apical 2-chamber or 3-chamber views that show the retrocardiac descending aorta.
