DISSECTED AORTA, SONOGR. Dissection of the aorta at the start of the aorta caused by a hematoma _ Cardiac ultrasound. The dissecting aneurysm, or aortic dissection, is a longitudinal tear of the aorta wall. This tear can be provoked, as here, by a hematoma dissecting or intramural hematoma, separating the tunica intima internal layer of the adventitia external layer of the arterial wall. This hematoma leads to medianecrosis, progressive destruction of the media intermediary layer of the wall, an

A vessel here, a fragment of the saphenous vein is grafted between the aorta and the obstructed coronary, downstream of the obstruction, so as to restore the blood irrigation of the heart.

COARCTATION OF THE AORTA. COARCTATION OF THE AORTA Aortic coarctation is a narrowing of the aorta, often considerable and sometimes complete, most commonly just past the point where the aorta and the subclavian artery meet. Aortic coarctation causes low blood flow, often leading to arterial hypertension. Surgery is often advised to establish normal anatomy of the aortic intersection and gain normal blood flow. 3D CT scan. The icon at the bottom-right indicates the image´s perspective: A : ant
