Aortic Intramural Hematoma (IMH)
Aortic intramural hematoma is a variant of aortic dissection and dened by a localized collection of blood within the aortic wall, but without a discrete intimal tear or
false lumen. This pathology accounts for approximately 10–25% of patients with an
acute aortic syndrome [17]. Putative mechanisms of intramural hematoma include
rupture of the vasa vasorum vessels into an area of medial degeneration or a penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer without an intimal tear and with subsequent blood ow

from the lumen into the vessel wall [18]. Importantly, this is a dynamic condition;
12% of patients with an aortic intramural hematoma progress to a frank dissection
with adverse clinical outcomes analogous to patients presenting initially with a
clearly delineated dissection ap [19].
Though TTE is less sensitive for the diagnosis, an aortic intramural hematoma is
suggested by an echogenic thickening of the aortic wall. Intramural hematoma of
the ascending aorta may be visualized on TTE by the following features: focal wall
thickening and or echolucent regions, preservation of the shape and smooth border
of the lumen, central/luminal displacement of intimal atherosclerosis [9].

TEE is needed for the diagnosis of all aortic segments, outside of the ascending
aorta. On short axis imaging, an intramural hematoma of the descending thoracic
aorta appears as a crescent-shaped mass adjacent to the aortic lumen and bounded
by the bright adventitial echo signal. Long-axis imaging then allows evaluation of
the extent of the hematoma (Fig.5). Notably, the imaging hallmarks of classic aortic
dissection; dissection ap and double channel aorta are both absent in IMH.

Penetrating Aortic Ulcer (PAU)
Penetrating aortic ulcer is a condition in which ulceration of an atherosclerotic
lesion penetrates the aortic internal elastic lamina into the aortic media [20]. PAU is
considered to be a disease of the intima (i.e., atherosclerosis), whereas aortic dissection and its variant (IMH) are diseases of the media (degenerative changes of the
elastic bers and smooth muscle cells).
There is limited utility of TTE in the diagnosis of PAU.TEE, CT or MRI is better
suited to detect PAU and its complications. The diagnosis of PAU requires demonstration of an “ulcerlike” or “craterlike” out-pouching in the aortic wall. PAUs can
be detected only when they protrude outside the contour of the aortic lumen. The
maximum depth of penetration of the ulcer, maximum width at the entry site and the
axial length of any associated medial hematoma should be measured. TEE has been
less well studied than CT and MRI for the diagnosis of PAU but may be of value
when the results of CT and MRI are inconclusive. The characteristic nding is a
craterlike out-pouching of the aortic wall, often with jagged edges and usually associated with extensive aortic atheroma [20] (Fig.6). A localized aortic dissection
may occur, but the dissection ap, if present, tends to be thick, irregular, nonoscillating, and usually of limited length. The reason for the limited length of the
dissection may be that the dissection plane is lost because of scarring or atrophy of
the media and secondary to the atherosclerotic process.
Aortic Aneurysm Rupture
Aneurysm is dened as a permanent focal dilatation of an artery having a 50%
increase in diameter compared with the expected normal diameter of the artery [21].
Aneurysms of the aorta can be classied into two main morphologic types: fusiform
Fig. 6 Aortic Pseudo
Aneurysm. The TEE shows
color Doppler ow from
the aorta into the pseudo
aneurysm (white arrows)

and saccular. Fusiform aneurysms result from diffuse weakening of the aortic wall
leading to dilatation of the entire circumference of the aorta, producing a spindleshaped deformity with a tapered beginning and end while saccular aneurysms result
when only a portion of the aortic circumference is weakened, producing an asymmetric, relatively focal balloon-shaped out-pouching.
TTE can be utilized for sequential follow-up of aortic root dilatation. Diameter
expansion, severity of aortic regurgitation and left ventricular size and function can
be evaluated. When dilatation involves the ascending aorta above the STJ, TTE may
not adequately visualize the affected segment, in which case other modalities
including TEE, CT or MRI should be utilized.
TEE is most often utilized to help guide surgical decision-making. A detailed
understanding of the entire aortic valve apparatus is crucial for determining the need
for and type of aortic valve repair or valve replacement. TTE and TEE are not tomographic imaging and hence have some limitations for reliable measurements of distal ascending aorta, aortic arch, descending aorta diameters, especially in the
presence of a tortuous aorta.
185
Aortic Pseudoaneurysm
An aneurysm involves all the layers of the aortic wall, whereas a pseudoaneurysm
is actually a contained rupture due to loss of integrity of the aortic wall, with a blood
collection outside the aorta. Following surgery for aortic disease, blood can escape
from the graft lumen or prosthetic valve sewing ring into an area contained by surrounding scar tissue or the native aorta at the proximal or the distal graft anastomoses to the aorta or at the coronary reimplantation sites resulting in pseudoaneurysm
formation.
Transthoracic/Transesophageal Imaging
On TTE or TEE, a pseudoaneurysm appears as an echolucent area adjacent to the
aortic graft. Flow in this area can be demonstrated with color ow imaging, although
a TEE study is often necessary for adequate image quality. The pseudoaneurysm
may rupture back into the left ventricle (LV) underneath the aortic annulus and creating a stula with ow in both systole and diastole. The pseudoaneurysm may form
underneath the valve creating “pseudo-aortic regurgitation” with ow from the
pseudoaneurysm into the LV in diastole, and from the LV into the pseudoaneurysm
in systole. The characteristics of the latter paravalvular ow signal on PW and CW
Doppler are similar to those of transvalvular aortic regurgitation with color ow
around, rather than through, the prosthetic aortic valve.

Traumatic Aortic Disease
Blunt force trauma, most often due to motor vehicle accidents, can result in aortic
injury and rupture and is the most common form of traumatic aortic injury. The
most vulnerable site, is the aortic isthmus [22]. The second most common location
is the supravalvular portion of the ascending aorta [23] (Fig.7a and b).
Transthoracic/Transesophageal Imaging
TEE ndings in patients with blunt force trauma are variable and include dilatation
in the region of the isthmus, an abnormal aortic contour, a thick intraluminal medial
ap, a pseudoaneurysm, a crescentic or circumferential thickening of the aortic wall
(IMH), and mobile linear echodensities attached to the aortic wall consistent with
an intimal tear or a thrombus. In differentiating from a spontaneous aortic dissection, the medial ap tends to be thicker, has greater mobility, and is typically perpendicular (rather than parallel) to the aortic wall so that there is an absence of two
channels. The aortic contour is usually deformed because of the presence of a localized pseudoaneurysm and the ndings are conned to the isthmus, rather than propagating distally all the way to the iliac arteries (Fig.8).

Sinus ofValsalva Aneurysm
Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms may be seen on long- and short-axis views of the 2D
echocardiogram. Generally, a diameter from the widest portion of the asymmetric
sinus to the opposing wall of greater than 4cm in adults is used as the denition.
Transthoracic/Transesophageal Imaging
A dilated and distorted sinus of Valsalva is seen both in long- and short-axis views
at the aortic valve level either from a TEE or TTE approach. A congenital aneurysm
may have a complex shape with a “wind sock” appearance of a mass of irregular,
mobile echoes protruding from the aortic sinus into adjacent cardiac structures.
There may be a communication with multiple fenestrations, with high-velocity turbulent ow from the high-pressure aorta to the low-pressure adjacent chambers
detectable by CW, PW, and color ow Doppler techniques. Doppler ow examination is unremarkable in the absence of communication. Contrast echocardiography
maybe helpful in delineating the aneurysm, however, color ow Doppler imaging is
the technique of choice for identifying a ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm.

Considerations andComparison

Introduction
Despite the importance of cross-sectional imaging in acute aortic disease, the majority of imaging utilization occurs in the chronic phase as part of imaging surveillance. Whereas imaging protocols for acute aortic disease are more standardized,
and rely heavily on CT angiography (CTA), protocols for long-term imaging surveillance are less uniform and often vary signicantly across centers and between
individual physicians. The choice of imaging modality may depend on patientspecic factors, and institutional and physician preferences often play a role.
Knowledge of the strengths and limitations of each technique is important for
selecting the optimal imaging modality, understanding disease-specic variations in
imaging protocols, and appropriately interpreting imaging results. Beyond simply
acquiring the images, there exists multiple challenges related to image analysis and
measurement technique that can affect the clear assessment of disease progression.

Indications andFrequency ofImaging Follow-Up
Aortic Dissection
Patients with medically managed aortic dissection have a high rate of long-term
morbidity and mortality, largely owing to the false lumen’s propensity to undergo
aneurysmal degeneration [1, 2]. Imaging surveillance is a central component of
long-term management of patients with aortic dissection and is used to detect aortic
growth and identify dissection related complications. Despite the importance of
imaging surveillance, there are few data to support any specic long-term imaging
surveillance strategy, and even ofcial guidelines state the level of evidence for
specic long-term imaging recommendations is “C” (i.e., very limited populations
evaluated; only consensus opinions of experts) [3].
There is general recognition that more frequent imaging is needed during the
rst 6 to 12months post-dissection to identify patients who develop rapid growth
or other complications during the subacute to early chronic phase of aortic remodeling, and may require earlier surgical repair [3]. Early post-operative imaging
surveillance is particularly important in patients with Marfan syndrome or other
aortic-related connective tissue disorders considering that such patients have
been reported to be at higher risk for complications after type A dissection repair
[4]. The 2010, multi-disciplinary “Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management
of Patients With Thoracic Aortic Disease” recommends CTA/MRA imaging at 1,
3, 6, and 12months post-dissection [3]. The authors also state that CTA/MRA
imaging is reasonable prior to the patient’s discharge from the hospital to establish a clear anatomic baseline to be used for subsequent follow-up. Lastly, it is
generally agreed that once patients have demonstrated relatively stable aortic
dimensions over a period of 6 or 12months, that imaging surveillance can be
performed on an annual basis in the absence of the development of complications
or signicant growth.
The denition of aortic “growth” is poorly dened, but is generally considered
to be present when aortic diameters increased by ≥3mm per year, based on the
observation that mean growth rates of TBAD are around 3–4mm per year and
measurement variability alone frequently results in 1–2mm of increase in aortic
dimensions [5, 6]. Furthermore, “rapid growth” is often used to suggest a growth
rate of 5mm per year or greater [3]. A study of long-term outcomes in patients
with aortic dissection demonstrated that growth of ≥5mm within the rst 6months
confers a greater than two-fold increased risk of future complications, emphasizing the importance of frequent imaging in the early post-dissection period [7]. If a
patient with previously stable aortic dimensions develops growth during the surveillance interval, but is not yet deemed a candidate for surgical repair, more frequent imaging follow-up should be considered to detect and prevent the
development of complications. While CT is generally the preferred method for
