  • Title: "Duplication" of aortic cusp. New M-mode echocardiographic sign of intimal tear in aortic dissection.
    Author: Cohen IS, Wharton TP.
    Journal: Br Heart J; 1982 Feb; 47(2):173-6. PubMed ID: 7059394.
    Abstract:
    M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiograms were obtained in a patient with acute dissecting aneurysm of the ascending aorta. The M-mode echocardiogram disclosed apparent "duplication" of the non-coronary aortic cusp. Two-dimensional echocardiograms showed this finding to be the result of the motion of a flap of torn aortic intima. This new M-mode finding appears to be a highly specific echocardiographic sign for aortic dissection.
