Fig. 2A. 68-year-old man after graft repair of ascending aorta
for Stanford type A dissection. Remote dissection with almost completely
thrombosed false channel originates in second part of descending aorta and
extends into abdominal aorta. Parasagittal HASTE image shows that intimal flap
is masked by increased intraluminal signal in both lumina (stars).
Findings were interpreted as parietal thrombosis because area of interest was
not covered by axial black blood images. Note dilatation of aortic root with
concomitant moderate aortic regurgitation.
