[Use of suprasternal imaging with 2-dimensional echocardiography in adults].
The authors demonstrate the justification of the suprasternal approach from the hollow of the neck in routine two-dimensional echocardiographic examination in adult patients. Echocardiographic and angiographic imaging is documented in two patients after surgery for coarctation of the aorta, with the narrowed section of the arch of the aorta well visualized, and in the third patient with partial anomalous opening of the pulmonary veins, the dilated left innominate vein draining blood from the left vertical vein into the dilated upper vena cava was clearly visible.
