[18] Advances in noninvasive imaging modalities have decreased the use of angiography in the diagnosis of aortic arch anomalies. Angiography provides clear anatomic detail and functional information.

Ascending and aortic arch aneurysms are commonly found incidentally ... Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), is another imaging modality to visualize your aortic ...

MRA of the Aortic Arch with Contrast Bolus. This study is complementary to the standard neck and intracranial MRA. It allows visualization of the common carotids, and especially the origin of the ...

Aortic Embolus: (Left) CT scan of the chest with contrast. Note the large clot within the aortic arch; (Middle) Magnetic Resonance Angiogram - arch study. Note the complete cut-off of the left ...

An ascending aortic aneurysm occurs when the aortic wall becomes weakened and enlarges. Many causes exist including atherosclerosis, hypertension and connective tissue disorders. There are no ...

with persistence of the right dorsal aortic root (RDAR), would result in a left aortic arch with either a blind pouch (point A) or a pouch giving origin to a retroesophageal right subclavian ...

and cardiac catheterization angiography are important modalities used in pediatric cardiology to diagnose and treat aortic arch disease and associated anomalies. This review article introduces the ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is another imaging modality to visualize your aortic aneurysm and vessels. Similar to a CT scan with contrast, an MRI or MRA ...
