    Journal: J Am Soc Echocardiogr; 2003 Nov; 16(11):1188-90. PubMed ID: 14608292.
    Abstract:
    Aortic transection can be a catastrophic complication of blunt chest trauma. Transesophageal echocardiography is a useful tool for assessing aortic pathology. Presented is a case of traumatic aortic transection in which periaortic fat was found within the aortic lumen.
