  • Title: Acute traumatic aortic rupture: intravascular US findings.
    Author: Williams DM, Simon HJ, Marx MV, Starkey TD.
    Journal: Radiology; 1992 Jan; 182(1):247-9. PubMed ID: 1727291.
    Abstract:
    Traumatic aortic rupture is a lethal injury that requires immediate diagnosis and surgical repair. The authors report a case of acute aortic rupture in which aortography demonstrated a subtle intimal discontinuity at the cephalic margin of the aortic spindle. Intravascular ultrasound (US) imaging of the aorta demonstrated a mural flap and a small, contained hematoma. Intravascular US may have a role in enabling confirmation or clarification of subtle aortic abnormalities.
