Author ProfileAbstract
Spontaneous pseudoaneurysm of the aortic arch is an exceptionally rare
and potentially life-threatening condition.Diagnosis of pseudoaneurysms
of the aortic arch mainly depends on imaging
examinations.Contrast-enhanced echocardiography, as a non-invasive,
bed-side and radiation-free tool, plays an important role in the rapid
diagnosis and postoperative follow-up of pseudoaneurysms of the aortic
arch.05 Jul 2021Submitted to Echocardiography 06 Jul 2021Submission Checks Completed
