Abstract:
Spontaneous echocardiographic contrast may be seen in the false and true lumens of dissecting aortic aneurysms. Using transesophageal echocardiography, we identified the false lumen as the source of spontaneous echocardiographic contrast in the true lumen of a patient with an aortic dissection.
