Abstract
Contrast aortography, computed tomography, and transesophageal echocardiography are the usual methods employed in diagnosing suspected acute aortic dissection.1 2 3 In this letter we describe the use of a new method of imaging vascular structures,4 5 6 7 intravascular ultrasonography, in the evaluation of aortic dissection.Keywords
