Mitral ring echo division may raise specificity of aortic wall duplication for dissection; case report leaves diagnostic value open for validation.
What are the causes of duplication of an aortic wall echo seen by echocardiography?
Division of the echo from the mitral ring into two separate posterior aortic wall echoes may increase the specificity of aortic wall duplication for diagnosing aortic dissection.
Hirschfeld et al. (1976) studied this question.
