Transesophageal Echocardiography in Aortic Dissection

AUTOR(ES)

Wilansky, Susan

RESUMO

Aortic dissection is an emergent and potentially fatal condition requiring prompt and accurate diagnosis. In some patients, aortic dissection is abruptly painful at onset; in others, however, it has a chronic progression—with no apparent symptoms or with symptoms mimicking those of congestive heart failure.
