Diagnosis of aortic intramural hematoma by intravascular ultrasound imaging

Am J Cardiol. 1995 Oct 1;76(10):735-8. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(99)80213-6.

Abstract

Our findings indicate the value of IVUS in the study of aortic intramural hematomas in ruling out other aortic diseases such as classic aortic dissection. This technique appears especially attractive for patients with suspected aortic dissection and a normal aortography.
