[Clinical usefulness of intraoperative color Doppler sonography in the operation of the dissecting aortic aneurysm].
Dissecting aneurysm of the aorta is a serious disease with a complex and wide range of morphology. Preoperative examinations such as echo, CT, and angiography, etc, have the limits in their respective capabilities and it is not always easy to say that the morphology is sufficiently elucidated. We have investigated clinical usefulness of this method in DAA under operation. In 10 cases of DAA, We were able to easily see the stereoscopic general image of the aorta including the bloodstream by the use of Doppler's tomography. During the operation of DAA, Doppler's tomography was very useful in determining detailed surgical procedure as well as in judging effects of the operation. In conclusion, intraoperative color doppler sonography is a valuable new tool to provide information which may significantly improve the surgical result in aortic dissection.
