[Radiologic imaging of annulo-ectasia disease of the aorta. Experience with 26 cases].
The authors describe the radiologic appearance of annulo-aortic ectasia in 26 patients who had plain chest radiography and aorto-seriography. Two also underwent C.T. Aortography is the most performing method to appreciate the extent of aortic ectasia, the perturbations of the aortic root and to diagnose acute or chronic dissections. Aortography remains a most valuable complement of echocardiography for preoperative staging.
