| Abstract: | The findings obtained by ultrasound, CT and angiographic examinations of 75 patients with dissecting aortic aneurysms operated on at the M.M.A. are analysed. The aim of each particular method was to detect the presence of dissection, the aortic entrance tear and type of dissection. These findings were compared with the operative findings. On the basis of the analysis it has been concluded that the precision of the diagnosis obtained by angiography was 93%, by CT 74% and by ultrasound 69%. |
