  • Title: Intraoperative diagnosis of aortic pseudoaneurysm with transesophageal echocardiography.
    Author: Lobato EB, McKenzie ED, Beaver TM.
    Journal: J Clin Monit Comput; 1999 Jan; 15(1):53-5. PubMed ID: 12578062.
    Abstract:
    A pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta is a rare complication of aortic valve endocarditis that requires prompt diagnosis. Several imaging strategies can be used; however, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been utilized more frequently due to its superior resolution in detection of aortic valve complications. This case presents a patient with prosthetic valve dysfunction in which intraoperative TEE was used to diagnose a previously undetected aortic pseudoaneurysm, thus leading to a change in surgical management.
