Early Detection of Ascending Aorta Dissection Using the Right Parasternal Echocardiographic Window

Year 2017, Volume: 20 Issue: 2, 165 - 167, 01.08.2017

Abstract

Right
parasternal image is not a part of the routine echocardiographic examination
and is seldom used. In cases of ascending aorta aneurysm and dissection, this
view may help provide crucial information when the standard views are unable to
visualize them adequately. Here, we reported a case of aortic dissection that
was diagnosed early and easily using the right parasternal image.

Sağ Parasternal Ekokardiyografik Pencere Görüntüsü ile Çıkan Aorta Diseksiyonunun Erken Tanısı

Year 2017, Volume: 20 Issue: 2, 165 - 167, 01.08.2017

Abstract

Sağ
parasternal ekokardiyografik pencere günlük pratikte sık kullanılmamaktadır.
Çıkan aort anevrizması veya diseksiyon olgularında standart görüntülere ek
olarak tanıda ciddi katkı sağlayabilmektedir. Biz de olgumuzda sağ parasternal
ekokardiyografik pencere görüntüsü ile hızlı ve net olarak çıkan aort
diseksiyonu tanısı konabileceğini belirtmekteyiz.
