title: Transesophageal Echocardiography in Thoracic Aortic Atherosclerosis.
abstract: Transesophageal echocardiography opened a new window to the thoracic aorta and for the first time permitted in vivo imaging of aortic atherosclerotic disease. The technique is useful in assessing the extent of the disorder, its complications, and possible treatment modalities. It will also be useful in the assessment of the progression as well as the possible regression of the disorder with appropriate (dietary or chemical) therapy.
