Abstract
There has been no definitive method, other than pathological findings, to identify the degeneration of the tunica media in the aortic wall (TM). We describe how high-resolution intraoperative epiaortic ultrasonographic imaging identifies changes in the TM of patients with aortic dissection. This method shows great promise in facilitating presymptomatic diagnoses of various aortic wall pathologies.Entities:
