  • Title: Ultrasound visualization of aortic dissection by right parasternal scanning, including systolic flutter of the intimal flap.
    Author: D'Cruz IA, Jain M, Campbell C, Goldbarg AN.
    Journal: Chest; 1981 Aug; 80(2):239-42. PubMed ID: 7249777.
    Abstract:
    Dilation of the ascending aorta and an intimal flap within it (indicating dissecting aneurysm) were visualized by M-mode and cross-sectional echocardiography, from the right but not from the left parasternal area. The diagnosis was confirmed by aortography and at surgery. Systolic flutter of the intimal flap, seen on M-mode echocardiography, was attributable to the jet from a mildly stenotic aortic valve impinging on it.
