Abstract

Atherosclerotic lesions may be readily visualized in the thoracic aorta using transesophageal echocardiography. The absence of aortic plaque in the thoracic aorta rules out significant coronary artery obstruction whereas the existence of the former appears to be a sensitive and specific predictor of the latter.
